THE HAGUE -- Friday Former NATO commander Wesley Clark was granted unprecedented privileges during his testimony at the war crimes trial of Slobodan Milosevic, including permission to contact former US president Bill Clinton, B92 reports.
Clark testified on Monday and Tuesday, though transcripts were only released yesterday after being looked over by the US government.
The oddest thing of all was that he was allowed during his testimony to stand up and leave his bench, make a telephone call, or something else, Belgrade journalist Ljiljana Smajlovic told B92. The other unusual thing is that Clark was allowed to contact Bill Clinton during the testimony, to ask him to send a letter or fax supporting his claims. He was allowed to read out Clintons fax despite the fact Judge May always warns witnesses that during the break they are not allowed to talk to anyone.
Clark, who is running for US president, arrived at The Hague with an army of aides, while the tribunal website carried the telephone numbers of his public relations experts. source

He forgot his script. Fill in eerie music with "or something else."
Couldn't find a sock puppet that looked dazed and confused and embarrassed of the words coming out of his mouth so this one will have to do.
So glad to hear your mom's ok!
