The strange case of the Russian dossier got even stranger this week with a new report from the Guardian raising a name from the seamy side of Clinton past. A “second Trump-Russia dossier” has been turned over to the FBI, the Guardian reported. The second dossier was compiled by Cody Shearer, who the Guardian identifies as a “a controversial political activist and former journalist who was close to the Clinton White House in the 1990s.” That’s putting it mildly. Shearer in fact has long been linked to the sleaziest aspects of the Clinton operation, mainly through his close relationship with...

RADOVAN Karadzic showed yesterday that he will fight the charges of genocide he faces every step of the way, by insisting that the Bosnian Serbs fought a "just and holy" war to block the creation of an Islamic state. In a belligerent opening statement, the former Bosnian Serb leader claimed that his forces had no choice but to fight the war of 1992-95 to "defend the greatness of a small nation" against a Muslim plot to revive the Ottoman Empire. Dr Karadzic, 64, was frequently told to slow down so that interpreters could keep up with his four-hour, gabbled history...

According to Richard Holbrooke, Richard Holbrooke is essentially this country's top diplomat -- Hillary Clinton is merely his "pupil. This despite the fact that Holbrooke has hit the trifecta of shady business dealings over the last few years: a member of AIG's board with more than $800,000 in compensation, a managing director at Lehman Brothers, and the recipient of a "Friends of Angelo" loan from Countrywide (that alone was enough to get Jim Johnson thrown under the Obama campaign bus). Now comes another revelation from the New York Times. Despite repeated denials, according to three sources, Holbrooke did offer former...

THE HAGUE (AFP) — Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic stood before the UN war crimes court Thursday to face genocide charges, in his first public appearance since his arrest after nearly 13 years on the run. Shorn of the beard and long hair he had used as a disguise until his capture on July 21, Karadzic was again recognisable as the man who became one of the most reviled figures in the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s. Wearing a dark jacket and tie, Karazdic appeared before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to hear the 11...

Getting Serious by Igor Jovanovic 6 February 2006 The EU could block a key agreement with Belgrade if war-crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic is not arrested. BELGRADE, Serbia and Montenegro | Serbia’s path to the EU is currently blocked by a single individual: retired General Ratko Mladic, an indicted war criminal. Mladic’s arrest has become an urgent matter for the Belgrade government since European officials have made it clear that a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) would not be concluded unless Serbia fully cooperates with the Hague tribunal, which means handing over the wartime commander of the Bosnian Serb army. The...

He once declared that he was God, and ordered his Serb artillery to “scorch the brains” of Bosnian Muslims in Sarajevo. General Ratko Mladic kept a goat he called Madeleine Albright, and until a few years ago, openly dined at fancy Belgrade restaurants or watched soccer matches. Now, Serbian authorities say the noose is tightening around the wartime Bosnian Serb army commander, a top UN war crimes fugitive, who’s been eluding capture for nearly a decade on charges he helped mastermind Europe’s worst massacre of civilians since the Second World War. Although Serbian police today denied reports that Mladic’s exact...

Radovan Karadzic, the psychiatrist who became the most wanted war criminal"It's better for them to kill me" YES, IT WAS AN unusual picture of a man who is generally seen as The Most Wanted Man in the world.

Ex-Bosnian Serb leader and indicted war criminal Radovan Karadzic is living in Belgrade, according to chief United Nations prosecutor Carla Del Ponte. Ms Del Ponte said she had received information from a credible source in the Serb capital last week. She described Belgrade as "a haven for fugitives", adding that her office's relations with Serbia had been frozen. Mr Karadzic, charged with genocide for his part in the Bosnian war, remains free eight years after the war ended. Ms Del Ponte said he had apparently joined his former army chief Ratko Mladic in the Serbian capital. "So we have...

Bosnia's top war crimes fugitive doing fine, writing books Mon Apr 22,11:47 AM ET BELGRADE, Yugoslavia - Radovan Karadzic is healthy and in good spirits, an associate said Monday while promoting a book written by the wartime leader of Bosnia's Serbs and the world's No.1 war crimes suspect at large.
