Miloshevich is doing a brilliant job`not because he is very smart but because,Del Ponte and Co are nothing but amateurs,so far

Actually, Brane, he is quite brilliant. Brilliance is very rare, which is why we have committees -- it take a mass of brainpower to equal one brilliant human.

I have been reading his defense responses and I have not seen anything that was outright stupid. In fact, he is fighting an uphill battle with a predtermined outcome, and in a "court" that deviates from anything civlized world would call a court. It is a hearsay, tell on people, secret, inquisional "court," that at times sounds more like Soviet showtrial courts than a Western court of justice.

Plavshich's successor is Milorad Dodik, a political periphery who was allowed to govern by the barrel of NATO guns and not by the ballot. Dodik, too, is a "witness" on Plavshich's trial -- for the defense. His cliam to fame is that he signed off all the rights of the Jasenovac death camp documents stored in Banyaluka. NATO took and turned all of them to the American Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. The Museum opened the document canisters in presence of Croatian government officials and done who knows what to them. The important thing is -- they refulse to release any of them to the public to see. That's the kind of trecherous people Plavshich surrounded herself with.

Mind you, she split from the SDS because of "corruption." It took her all that time to figure out that human nature in general, and Balkan mentality in pericular, equal corrptuion? And she has a PhD? She didn't cite policy differences or pangs of conscience when she decided to jump ship.

Her closest confidant and "soulmate" is none other than Zoran Djindjich, the man who kissed Albright's hands together with Drashkovich, in Istanbul in 1999 right after the end of NATO's bombing; the man who spent the entire bombing campaing hunkering in Monetengro. What a patriot!

With such company, Plavshich's real problem is her lack of character, not her "clinical depression." Which is why she found it so easy to befriend Madeliene Albright. At any rate, her cell in the Hague will be comfortable, heated in the winter, and cooled in the summer. As the only woman accused and confessed of crimes, the whole damn faiclity will be hers. Males will not share the same prison side with her. She will have all the time and medical care at her disposal, telephone, TV, Internet, you name it. And, if she is willing to "choregraph" and rewrite some history for her masters, she may get a few more perks. As I said: it's not a bad retirement. She won't go hungry or cold, and she won't be shoveling rocks, making big piles into small piles day in and day out. And, being there will be a heck of a lot better than being in Belgrade, "depressed."

KOCTA

Kosta,as I said before,it is not very dificult to be "brilliant" in Hague.I am astonished by a low level of jurisprudence displayed at that "Star Chamber"!When Karla brings a "witness" from Kosovo allready discarded as a witness by UNMIK in Prishtina in Racak Case,who had claimed that "..he survived massacre and listened how Serbs were singing war songs while they were gauging eyes from the victims,and how couple of victims had their hearts carved out by the Serbs...",we all had to lough!The fact that there was no mutilations on the bodies of dead Albanians wasn`t important for Del Ponte!Miloshevic is using their mistakes to the full.If he had a decent legal team Hague sharade would be in serious trouble.But,that would mean reccognision of that court.And,he doesn`t want that.But,as you`ve said ,he will go down fighting.

I`ve read today`s statement by Mrs Plavshic in Hague.She said a lot of true things.Still have to "digest" the whole thing to make a final oppinion.
