As Hoplite said:

Slobo was allowed to cross examine Clark upon evidence which Clark had given to the court.

Exactly. And that is normal in a court. The ICTY has already allowed too much Milosevic grand-standing.

One of the reasons I am dead-set against the ICTY and similar type courts is because of exactly what we are seeing here--we have an indisputably guilty war criminal on trial and in a year and a half all they've managed to do is make him a hero back in the country that only a few years ago threw him out of office and delivered him to the court. And when all is said and done, they don't even have the death penalty--something Milosevic richly deserves.

Unfortunately, I don't what the alternative is to the ICTY at this time and in this particular case.

BTW, just because Clark and Clinton are who they are and you disagree with the Kosovo intervention and the ICTY, it does not follow that Milosevic is a victim or innocent or anything other than a mass-murderer

No one said that Slobo is anything other than a butcher, but our self righteous friends who say the Iraq War is illegal should be able to handle a little heat their way. They have pelted the Bush administration mercilessly, I think they deserve some of their own medicine.

It is worth knowing that they didn't have UN backing, that American forces did nearly all of the heavy lifting and that "collateral damage" happened in that War.

Also, they demand that Saddam should go to the Hague. They allow Milosevic to ask the most mundane questions. A man on trial for violations of international law and war crimes should be allowed to present a quote from the Supreme General of the Army that opposed him. Clark's contention that the War he waged agsinst Milosevic was illegal is relevant. Should Clark be up on charges. Where are the indictments from Brussels for Clark and Clinton?

It's funny how this is the one time the global Left doesn't want to put American foreign policy on trial. I find it shocking that they aren't concerned about Milosevic's dignity. Where oh where are the Slobo apologists? Are they all working on behalf of Mr. Hussein these days?

Rules of cross examination allow all questions-without time limit-unless it is a kangaroo court.

You got it wrong. Milosevic cannot be a war criminal as he was not waging any war. He did not commit crimes, unless you count normal anti-guerilla operations within territory of one's own country as criminal.

As far as Slobo and Clark, a pox on both their houses.
