["Once you get through the Serbian propaganda...]

Okay, I'll be the devil's advocate. Why would Carla del Ponte announce that she would appeal against the two-year sentence that Oric received (i.e. time served)...

Note that I am not fan of Carla and I would think that she would be impervious to "Serbian propaganda."

In any "normal" court system, he'd have been sentenced to prison for a large portion of the rest of his life. It's just that the ICTY isn't a "normal" court system, and their sentences have been pathetically lenient across the ethnic spectrum of defendants.

Alas, it's Europe, not Texas, so Carla's destined to swim against the current.
