GUARDIAN / R. Booth
Accused war crimes mastermind Gen. Ratko Mladic, 69 made his first appearance at court in The Hague.
But instead of guilt or shame, he admitted deep pride in his actions without any remorse.
He even taunted the alleged victims and their families...describing the charges against him as "obnoxious," refused to enter a plea and described the indictment as "monstrous words that I have never heard before"... then asked for two months to weigh the 11 counts of genocide.
AND: Bosnia-Herzegovina has lacked leadership since October while Bosnian, Serb and Croat reps argued about sharing power. Mladic's arrest may reduce tensions there.
“There is a new momentum created by Mladic’s arrest because it shows the idea of peace is gathering strength and the idea of justice as well,” observes Professor Mirko Pejanovic. “The central administration could be put in place by the end of the month.”
