This is the 6th war prisoner to die at the Hague, including 2 in the past week.
That Milosevic was denied his medical aid request is more than troubling...especially coupled with the EU's awful care of their war prisoners.

The text of a handwritten letter dated March 8, 2006, written by Slobodan Milosevic to Russia asking for its help. It was provided in an English translation by his lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic:
To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
With my acknowledgment for the solidarity and understanding which you expressed by accepting to receive me to come for medical treatment and by giving guarantees, I would like to inform you about the following:
I think that the persistence, with which the medical treatment in Russia was denied, in the first place is motivated by the fear that through careful examination it would be discovered, that there were active, willful steps taken, to destroy my health, throughout the proceedings of the trial, which could not be hidden from Russian specialists.
In order to verify my allegations, I'm presenting you a simple example which you can find in the attachment. This document, which I received on March 7, shows that on January 12th (i.e. two months ago), an extremely strong drug was found in my blood, which is used, as they themselves say, for the treatment of tuberculosis and leprosy, although I never used any kind of antibiotic during this 5 years that I'm in their prison.
Throughout this whole period, neither have I had any kind of infectious illness (apart from flu).
Also the fact that doctors needed 2 months (to report to me), can't have any other explanation than we are facing manipulation. In any case, those who foist on me a drug against leprosy surely can't treat my illness; likewise those from which I defended my country in times of war and who have an interest to silence me.
Dear Sirs, it is known to you that Russian physicians, who rank among the most respected physicians in the world, came to the conclusion that the examination and treatment of the vascular problems in my head are inevitable and urgent. I know very well that this is true, as I feel very bad.
I'm addressing you in expectation that you help me defend my health from the criminal activities in this institution, working under the sign of the U.N., and that I be enabled as soon as possible to get adequate treatment in your hospital, in whose physicians, as well as in Russia, I have absolute confidence.
Yours sincerely,
Slobodan Milosevic

Milosevic, was found dead in his cell the next morning after he handed the above letter to his lawyer.
My diagnosis: ARKANCIDE...just like Vince Foster.
fyi
Well, we all know how trustworthy the Russians have been, don't we? /sarc.
This evening FoxNews was propagating the UN spin that he deliberately took the lepracy medicine so he would be allowed to go to Russia for medical treatment.
This is the 6th war prisoner to die at the Hague, including 2 in the past week.
That Milosevic was denied his medical aid request is more than troubling...especially coupled with the EU's awful care of their war prisoners.
My daughter says HI!! By the way.
I always wonder how strong a post cold war Russian/US relationship could have been without clinton. How else could Russia act after the clinton/allbright/wesley clark leadership? Thank goodnes for Jackson.
