War crimes suspect Stojan Zupljanin has been transferred to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

Arrested near Belgrade earlier this month, the former Bosnian Serb police chief is charged with responsibility for the murder, persecution, torture, and deportation of non-Serb civilians.

Prosecutors in the Hague have also charged him in connection with the wanton destruction of towns and religious institutions.

Zupljanin was one of four remaining fugitives wanted by the court for war crimes committed during the Bosnian conflict in the 1990s.

Those still at large include former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander Ratko Mladic.






Does this remind you of anyone else?

4. We Need to Send Our War Criminals There

5. If we don't, the rest of the world will have to.

But, better if we do -- starting 01/20/09.

8. So says leveymg, Philippe Sands and seemslikeadream!

9. It's like the song in Alice's Restaurant: We're a Movement!

12. yea you me and Philippe sitting on the bench

I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to
ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm
sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,
kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and
said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints
off to Washington."

13. Stockbridge is still a cool place. I heard the Sands interview w/ Amy in May

Officer Obie's retired, and the town dump's open on Sundays these days.

You'll have drive a ways to find Implements of destruction and blind justice. No Home Depot store.

Heard Philippe's Democracy Now! interview on 05/08 - I'd sit down and share a meal at Alice's Retaurant with that man, anyday. Can you set it up?

14. We do have the 27 8x10 semi glossy photo's with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back

of each one describing what each one was to be used as evidence against them. The aerial photography and even the dog sniffing prints. Hell we even had video.

Except that Iraq didn't have the implements of destruction. But that doesn't really matter to blind justice.

[leveymg]

15. Okay - time to call the new town Constable and have the Justice OTP open up the courthouse for

for business.

In the name of The People of Massachusetts, we hereby convene a Grand Jury to investigate certain breaches of the peace committed by one George W. Bush, along with his accomplices, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and . . . on and on and on until every last piece of garbage is picked up and safely deposited in the Stockbridge Jail for trial.

And, then we go for some apple pie and coffee? Everyone on the Jury agreed?

[seemslikeadream]

18. AGREE and so does Vincent Bugliosi

20. Good company,

Indeed.

6. The Hague needs a sovereign nation who is a member of the World Court to file a complaint.

Since we won't do it, and we no longer are a member of the World Court, it seems that it should be Iraq or Afghanistan, however, since we have set up their puppet governments, they won't and I don't know if they are members either. So who do you think could do it?

[leveymg]

10. Any signatory state (there were 150) to the UN Anti-Torture Convention can start the process

The Treaty is universally enforceable, by the way. All signatories are bound to enforce it if the country which carried out torture or on whose territory the torture took place are unwilling or unable to do so.

[Cleita]

16. So what are they waiting for and how do we give them a push to do it?

I don't think Great Britain will because they have been complicit in our crimes, but maybe one or all of the Scandanavian countries might. I hope they get on it. Time is wasting away.

[leveymg]

17. Everyone's waiting to see what the next Admin. does.

No sense in taking on BushCo at this point. Washington may end up sorting out the problem by appointing US Attorneys next year. We'll see.

[leftofthedial]

7. if only it was bush or cheney . . .

-sigh-

[leveymg]

11. It's bound to happen by the fact that most countries in the world signed the UN Torture Convention

19. Yippee!
