Another joke

It's quite astonishing that Radovan Karadzic has managed to delay the opening of his trial at the Hague by the simple ploy of not turning up to represent himself. According to the Guardian:

Legal experts predict [that] further delays, perhaps of several months, are inevitable.
...
The judges have been criticised by lawyers, victims' associations, and human rights activists for allowing the war crimes suspects to set the agenda and manipulate the court.

Here we go again...

Get out of that!

The BBC reports that:

The Hague tribunal has rejected the argument by former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic that he should not be prosecuted because of an immunity deal.

Good story

The Telegraph claims that MI6 and US intelligence were involved in the capture of Radovan Karadzic. It's a good story, that might even be true - or not.

John Reid RIP

In fact, John Reid is leaving politics to spend more time with Radovan Karadzic.
