WNU,
They got Mladic, but I here his cage isn't so bad. Did they ever decide if his daughter really did commit suicide?

Finally.

I hope the next to condemn (better soon than late) is that bastard of Mladic.

Is something, even if the foreign powers that play Risk with Yugoslavia remain untouched.

YC,
They've already condemned Mladic, but I hear (not here) his incarceration isn't all that bad.

I do not know James. But I think she is still alive.

WNU,
"But I think she is still alive." No, not the one I'm thinking of, I believe her name was Anna. If I remember right, the controversy was whether she was found inside or in the woods with a gunshot wound. Mladic always claimed that she was murdered by his enemies, which considering his career wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
