During a 1996 interview with a Bosnia Serb commander about the execution of the Bosnian men of Srebrenica, the commander told her she was "asking too many dangerous questions," and added, "too much truth is a dangerous thing." Neuffer's personal philosophy about truth is far different. As she sees it, "The truth may be hazardous to those who tell it, but truth is not dangerous, disinformation is. As I saw in Bosnia and Rwanda, it is propaganda that fans the flames of hatred."
Neuffer was an Edward R. Murrow Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and wrote a book about war crimes and post-war justice in Bosnia and Rwanda, The Keys to My Neighbor's House.
She was killed in a car accident on May 9, 2003, while on assignment covering the war in Iraq.
