NATO To Hold Karadzic's Son Indefinitely

NATO says it will keep the son of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic in custody until he reveals information that may lead to the capture of his father.

NATO spokesman in Sarajevo Derek Chappell told the dpa news agency that Aleksandar Karadzic will be kept in detention as long as it takes to get information NATO believes he has.

NATO military units picked Karadzic up Thursday at his home in Pale, near Sarajevo.

The UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague has indicted the elder Karadzic on charges of genocide and war crimes.

There is no information on what charges, if any, have been made against his son.

But so well hidden by the evil Serbs that they cannot be found.

Don't be silly, you know as well as I that the whole number is accounted for. Forensics experts have been slowly, methodically digging up the mass graves and identifying the dead at a rate of several hundred a year. Just today, 610 newly identified victims were buried alongside 1330 already identified. Thousands remain unidentified. You can support Serbia -- and be a Slavophile -- without making bizarre claims about the massacre at Srebrenica never happening. You just sound kookish when you do.

Paul Wolfowitz decried the worst "act of genocide" since WWI.

I guess Africa doesn't count.

The worst "act of genocide since WWI" and worst ever was the killing of tens of millions of Russians by the militant secularists.

Can you provide the source for this "1330 already identified"? Were they all indetified as Muslims and not as Serbs? Source please. Were they all from the area of Srebrenica, source please.

Our common friend, Google, cites 694 recent news articles on the subject. Perhaps you might find at least a few hundred interesting...

For those too lazy to read the link, according to the Associated Press and the hundreds of other sources presented, approx. 2000 separate Muslim victims from Srebrenica have so far been identified, with thousands more remaining. Does that answer your question?

Does that answer your question? 42 mass graves have been dug up in and around the city, and investigators believe 22 remain.

No, what A.Pole is asking for is a list of names of those that died. He asked and you claim to verify the story, so it is now up to you to prove your claim. Can you identify those names and provide full ethnic identifier (whether they be muslim or Serb?).

That gathering is a political farce and will forever be one, alongside the Racak Hoax as the greatest PR lies of the 90s.

[ma bell]

What is your take on the Bosnian War and interest in it?

[ma bell]

mark, you are upping the crowd total(official count was put at 30,000) by 75%, now now, lets stop that. Oh, I see, 75% of 7,000 = 1,375 body count is awfully close to the 1330 already identified.

Hmmmmm...

I notice a trend....how does the Pink Panther theme go?

[Alter Kaker]

No, what A.Pole is asking for is a list of names of those that died.

If you really want a list of victims, you should contact the International Committe on Missing Persons, the definitive source, the contact information for which I shall provide below. But this all seems somewhat silly -- do you have an official victim list from Mao's Great Leap Forward? If not, maybe Mao really didn't kill anybody. How about from the sack of Kiev by the Mongols? Maybe it didn't happen. Your kind of revisionism would be funny if it weren't so serious.

In any event, you should contact:

What is your take on the Bosnian War and interest in it?

My take on the Bosnian war is that it was a tragic event precipitated by unresponsible nationalists on several sides who committed horrible atrocities on one another. I think those responsible for war crimes need to be brought to justice, regardless of ethnicity. Anything short is mindless dead-end tribalism.

[ma bell]

What about their actions? Can you name one action from each side that you quantify that led them down to their path of destruction? Can you please?

[ma bell]

Times have changed and so does your claim. You need to back up your own claims that their are lists. Why don't you email them to back up your own accusation.

Have you ever been there before? How were you able to gather all your information about what happened, sources etc...?

[Alter Kaker]

What about their actions? Can you name one action from each side that you quantify that led them down to their path of destruction? Can you please?

Oh sure, I can name many --- Helmut Kohl's infamous recognition of an independent Croatia, for example, was one great catalyst. But is this really the issue? Yugoslavia is gone; it will not come back. Lets bring to justice those who committed crimes and move on.

[Alter Kaker]

You need to back up your own claims that their are lists.

Given that they just burried 610 identified people yesterday, I'd say they have a list. If you don't believe them, you go ask them. I'm not the revisionist massacre-denier.

And yes, I have been to most parts of the Balkans at one point or other.

[ma bell]

Yes, it is a serious issue that should be recognized. Ok, you have one. Name them for the other 2 sides.

[ma bell]

with the modern technology, I am sure they would have published those lists, in a public venue. Come up with those names is what I am asking and then we shall see how many of those names are of Serbian origin.

I've been to the Sreb region many times over. Have you been there on the backroads and see for yourself to learn? If you were SFOR and had muslim 'terp, you are automatically biased. Sorry, but that is how it is with SFOR troops that have been stationed there.

Yes, I too have been too the vast regions of Bosnia many times over.

[Alter Kaker]

Yes, it is a serious issue that should be recognized. Ok, you have one. Name them for the other 2 sides.

You're not a teacher and I'm not being tested, so find another source of entertainment. I suspect I've forgotten more about the Balkans than you ever knew.

[ma bell]

oh yes, they won't publish all the names, due to the "wrong" ethnicity. The ones that remain non-ID'd are Serbian, trust me, they are.

The claim will be made that the bodies can't be Id'd.
