Are you going to defend Saddam Hussein as well?

Saddam Hussein deserves a defense - if he does not just call in the troops and do away with due process under law - but in reality I as an American have no say in the crimes Saddam is charged for ordering in Iraq. As an American he peers should judge his guilt or innocence.

Milosevic is on trial in the UNITED NATIONS court - a court that never existed before and claims not to recognize sovreignty of nations and claims to be sovreign.

In such a case the UN court and what it represents is far more dangerous than any communist.

Slobo is a criminal? Let teh Serbian nation decide not a judge from Pakistan - Jamaica or the UK.

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.

Most FReepers question the legitimacy of the UN kangaroo court and are not defending Milosevic.
