I saw footage of him after his arrest.  I thought they had arrested Jerry Garcia!

Karadzic to defend himself, mirroring Milosevic

BELGRADE (AFP) — Captured Bosnian Serb genocide suspect Radovan Karadzic is to defend himself before the UN war crimes court, his lawyer said Wednesday, raising memories of the trial of his late ally, Slobodan Milosevic.

Karadzic, who stands indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity, was arrested in Belgrade on Monday, having evaded capture for more than a decade partly thanks to a fake identity as an alternative health guru.

The Bosnian Serb political leader during the 1990s Bosnian war was a close ally of then Yugoslav president Milosevic, who was also indicted for war crimes and had chosen to defend himself before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Milosevic's manipulation of the role was blamed for making his trial one of the longest in international legal history at more than four years. The Serbian strongman died in custody in The Hague in 2006 before a verdict was delivered.

Well, they finally got him. I wonder if he'll have a massive heart attack in jail as well?

LOL, that's what I thought - there's an uncanny resemblence between the two.

Yes, I was wondering if he'll die in custody too.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Apply the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". He was killing Muslims, was he not? Then turn him loose, treat him like a hero and put him in for the Nobel Peace prize. It is, after all, what the Muslims would do.

Milosovic & Karadzik both saw the Muslim threat and took care of it. Both have been branded "war criminals". To what end ?? Who legitimized that war ?? The US & UN had NO reason to get involved. Talk about "illegal wars"........  :whatever:

.... and yet, the genocide in Darfur & Rwanda has gone unaddressed...... **** the UN.
