BRUSSELS (B92) – Jamie Shea, the NATO spokesman who defended NATO bombing policies in Yugoslavia on international television in 1999 has been replaced.
Alliance Secretary General George Robertson today announced the appointment of a new head of the NATO PR service.
Canadian Yves Brodeur has previously been a director of Media Relations at the Foreign Affairs Department in Ottawa and political director of the Canadian mission to the European Union.
No reason was given for the departure of the spin-doctor known throughout Yugoslavia as Shamie Jay and famed for his straight-faced delivery of the terms “legitimate military target” and “collateral damage”.
