Update 14: Report: Drug Traces Found in Milosevic

AP

03.12.2006, 01:46 PM

Traces of a drug used to treat leprosy and tuberculosis were found in a blood sample taken in recent months from former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, a Dutch news report said, citing an unidentified "adviser" to the U.N. war crimes tribunal.

The report came hours after Milosevic's legal adviser showed journalists a letter the late Serb leader wrote Friday, one day before his body was discovered in prison, alleging that he was being poisoned.

The report was on the text service of the Dutch state broadcaster, NOS. It did not identify its source further.

Doctors found traces of the drug when they were searching for an answer to why Milosevic's medication for high blood pressure was not working, the report said.

This kangaroo court has done the worst thing for their side, they have martyred Milosevic.

They had no choice - they were losing the case.

No, the UN coddled him (as would you).

Sad.

That's because those fools were to shortsighted, if they had let Milosevic win the case it would have legitimized the World Court by stating that you can be found innocent and let go.

Now, with them killing Milosevic, they have destroyed any legitimacy they may have had by them stating that if they cannot find a person guilty, they will just kill them before the trial ends.

Milosevic would have probably died within ten years anyway and he would have died in obscurity, all but forgotten, but now he is martyred and will probably be remembered for a lot longer.

Along with that, people now can use Milosevic's death as a justification to disband the world court in that anyone charged by the world court can now state that they will not get a fair trial and if they cannot be found guilty, they will be killed by the world court before the trial ends.

What that poster did was an attempt to hijack the discussion and create a diversion.

He lied - and used an easily checked lie to say I said Clinton should go to the Hague. He lied, got caught in a lie and lost all credibility and limped away.

The issue (to me anyway) is the UN Court and the concepts behind it not so much sympathy for Slobo beyond the sympathy Christ teaches us we should have for all people.

This is pure conservatism as handed down by our Founding Fathers. Did not patriots John Adams and Josiah Quincy defend the Redcoats against charges from the Boston Massacre and acquitted all Redcoats but two?

What is sad is you would cheer a "UN court" poisoning a prisoner.

Thug life, y'all!

This is the THIRD so called anti communist type on FreeRepublic that approach me here but are in fact pimping for the UN court and its form of international justice.

It seems they are now reduced to arguing that Milosevic had it coming because he was a communist. There are lots of communist leaders who are/were more cozy with Islamic terrorists and more of a threat to the US than Milosevic, like all of them, but the communist who was no threat to the US and defended his people against Islamic invasion is the one who "had it coming".

It's very hard for these people to face the fact that we didn't go to war against the Serbs because Milosevic was a communist, you think Clinton minded that? No, we went to war against the Serbs because they were Christians standing in the way of an Islamic invasion of Europe.

i am not just referring to that part of the thread, there are a number of folks sounding very glad he died in jail and not at all interested in the circumstances.

this sort of insulated, unaccountable bureacratism keeping and possibly disposing of prisoners is the face of the future, if the globalists have their way. I think a lot of freepers don't take into account that a fair trial with possibility of acquital, particularly in a political case, is not well known in most of the world - the WCT is just mimicking its constituents.

And there are Communist/former Communist leaders in Eastern Europe who sided with America.

Paul C. Jesup stated: That's because those fools were to shortsighted, if they had let Milosevic win the case it would have legitimized the World Court by stating that you can be found innocent and let go.

Slobo would have then been arrested in the Hague and sent back to Belgrade to face (true) charges.

Paul C. Jesup thinks like a rational person.

Paul, I would submit to you my thoughts as I stated them to a.pole.

The so called ICTY court was supposed to serve 2 purposes - one was a political one as a weapon against resistance in Yugoslavia. The other was to serve as a pilot court for the establishment of the UN's International criminal court.

They did not count on Slobo outfighting them and delaying their case and the UN Court came into being without the glory the trial of Slobo was supposed to shower such a court. In fact the way the Slobo trial was being badly conducted served as a rallying point for those against the UN Intl. Criminal Court. Slobo came close to sabotaging its coming into being.

The other reason - to use Slobo as a tool to make the Serbs compliant and remorseful and accepting of domination failed as well. Serbian resistance to the international community stiffened.

The verdict meant nothing in the context of the above failures.

The show trial was always supposed to end with Slobo being found guilty of genocide. If that happened now people would scoff at the verdict. If they found him innocent of genocide and guilty of the lesser counts that would have made a mockery of the court as well because the international community would be made to look foolish after we were told for years Slobo was Hitler.

He had to die in this manner. In fact I think the trial was delayed by the prosecution this long waiting for him to die before the verdict would be possible.

To true mindful conservatives such people chill the bone. What do they stand for? Statist-Triumphalism?

No - mixing of that drug with hypertension medication causes heart failure. Loss of blood pressure and would not be tested for if Slobo did not catch the UN doctors slipping him the drug. He asked for help about his poisoning one day before he was found dead.

yeah it is pretty hard to rationally argue when a man says he is being poisoned after being denied treatment by the preferred medical team/country and is found dead the next day.....obviously something is greatly amiss.

There is a very old, sometimes forgotten, rule in politics; you don't ever martyr your political enemies, because said martyr(s) can be used as a propaganda rallying point by your other enemies to destroy you.

By killing Milosevic, the World Court has destroyed itself, it just may take a few years for the effects to be felt by the World Court.

Thank you. You're one of the very few voices of reason on this thread.

You know it was murder when the UN prosecutor puts up a trial balloon before the autopsy that maybe Slobo committed suicide just in case they found an anomaly in his blood during the autopsy. This strikes me as a panic murder - they decided to do it quick after Slobo wrote that letter to the Russians. He found them slipping him the leprosy drug which does not mix with his heart medicine and he had to be dispatched quick.

Thank you for trying to keep the discussion to the issue at hand - not the guilt or innocence of Milosevic - but the indications that he may have been murdered (although the result of the possible poisoning would be a natural death which can be ascribed to his underlying disease) while being held imprisoned, facing a UN court.

Recent news says that the official verdict will be "heart attack". The problem is of course that if he was given rifampicin this would have drastically reduce the effectiveness of his anti-hypertensive medication - which could explain the difficulty his doctors experienced keeping his hypertension in check. The increased blood pressure would increase the risk of cardiac events and cerebral hemorrhages.

It will be very interesting to see if this report re the leprosy / tbc medication is confirmed.

PS: Medication with rifampicin at least initially colours the body fluids like urine, tears, spit, etc red. Just so you know what to look out for..... :-)
