Odd isn't it how the world media fails to mention that all charges including that of genocide were dropped for a single charge of 'persecution'. This is just legal bug**ry, much like the idea of 'joint criminal enterprise' - i.e. they cannot legally say that the 'Serbian nation' is guilty for everything, so they create a euphamism. The ICTY knew that they probably wouldn't have enough funding for a trial of Plavsic, thus the the worm turned.

Perhaps not legally, but when did that stop anyone? "Rules exist to be broken" says an American adage.

They just as easily dropped the more serious charges (misleading her to hope that she is out of the fire) as they morphed My Lai into a "stunning military victory," which is how it was officialy characterized.
