Are you going to defend Saddam Hussein as well?

I do not doubt that Milosevic was a not-very-nice guy. On the other hand, the way his trial has been handled does not pass the smell test. If even 10% of what I've heard is true, the shenanigans by the prosecution would have been enough to get its case thrown out of an American courtroom. To be sure, international courts don't follow American law, but for the tribunal to do things like question them witnesses, adjourn before Milosevic can question them, and then not allow the witnesses to be called back for cross-examination stinks to high heaven.

I used to believe Slobodan was almost certainly guilty. But the more I see of the tribunal's action, the more I doubt that he's actually guilty of the charged crimes.

Hi SC -
I agree with you on your assessment of Milosevic. Do you know if they've found any mass graves yet?
