    That leaves a question whether a country where someone like him was a military leader is behaving very civilised but if I'm not mistaken Serbia changed since then which is probably why they arrested him so I would deem it possible that they do not have capital punishment anymore.

    Military leader? Of Serbia?

    Have you any idea who Karadzic is?

    Anyway, the interesting thing here is that he will apparently go on trial in Belgrade, not The Hague. Subsidiarity in action.

    It says Bosnian Serb leader in the quote in the OP but I admit I never delved deep into the conflict as, I guess, everyone knows now.

    Radovan Karadžić used to be President of the Republika Srpska, the Serbian political entity within Bosnia. He was Serbian President Slobodan Milošević's big ally in Bosnia. The military commander of Republika Srpska at the time was General Ratko Mladic.

    Well, since he is indicted for a massacre, a siege and other war crimes I thought it wasn't too far off to think he was some kind of military leader but in many places the lines between politicians and military leaders are pretty blurred I guess.

    It's a good thing he was caught anyway though.

    Good news:
    Perhaps this one won’t die in jail…
    Finally perhaps real questions and answers will be ask and answer.

    I can’t wait his lawyers questioning all the evidences and unfortunately being able to refute them.

    Siege of Sarajevo: Well, what difference with the siege of Faludja by the US troops few years ago… And at least some food and medicaments were delivered to the town…

    Srebrenica: Where are the bodies?

    Concentration camps: Where? Even Kouchner had to admit they never exist as such…

    Systematic Rapes Campaign: Even The Hague abandoned this charge long time ago…

    Not that he was a good and nice guy. Yes, he was one of the actors of the Ethnic Cleansing.

    I hope we will have a nice and clean trial where Justice will prevail and truth will emerge, out of our Media Propaganda figures.

    Friend of mine was there in sebrenica, the only thing he regrets is that they didn't get them all. That is all he ever wanted to say about it.

    Many have been recovered over the years, if not all identified. They have been found in mass graves with eyes blindfolded, hands bound, and lethal bullet wounds, some bullets demonstrably of machine gun calibre. The total number of bodies found in mass graves in Kamenica Valley alone tops 4000. There are witnesses to all stages of the deportation and killings of Srebrenica inhabitants. There is no doubt that it was mass murder.

    I think (But I am admittedly not sure) that Brenus was impersonating the defense team of Karadzic.
