"This operation included U.S. troops. Approval for American involvement in the NATO contingent tasked to hunt down Serb war criminals included such "Serb-hating fascists" as the Secretaries of Defense & State, at a minimum, and most probably President Bush."

So if I'm understanding you right here mark, it's ok for the "arrest of a son for the sins of his father" as Incorrigible put it (and well put may I add) as long as the act was committed with the approval of American Government. Don't you ever question anything your government does mark or do you blindly accept everything they do is right even when it is done in your name? You make it easier for me to understand why so many people (not governments) throughout the world dislike Americans.

Jane, 1-The article clearly states that he was arrested because he "may have information vital to the goal of locating indicted war criminals or identifying their supporters". People who aid and abet fugitives from justice are also criminals and liable to arrest. That is true in most countries of the world; probably even in Sweden where you live.

2-As to this comment: You make it easier for me to understand why so many people (not governments) throughout the world dislike Americans.

It merely shows the ignorance upon which such dislike is often based. This was a NATO operation and NATO operates by consensus. That means your Baltic neighbors in Denmark & Norway were also part of the approval process along with every other NATO country from Canada & Iceland to Greece & Spain.
