On 11 March 2006, B-92, a Belgrade radio station, reported Milošević having been found dead in his cell in The Hague. This report has been confirmed by his lawyer.

Well...
The man is dead
and I must remind you all: He has not been found guilty yet
Associated Press
Steven Kay, a British attorney assigned to represent Milosevic, said Saturday that the former Serb leader would not have fled, and was not suicidal.
"He said to me: 'I haven't taken on all this work just to walk away from it and not come back. I want to see this case through,'" Kay told the British Broadcasting Corp.
Milosevic's death comes less than a week after the star witness in his trial, former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, was found dead in the same prison. Babic, who was serving a 13-year prison sentence, committed suicide.

I guess I was Right.
But there are some Weird Events these days in Hague.

The left wing media has just set out to make him look like a monster; and they have certainly done a great job at it. But they never show the other side of the story.

Because dead bodies look different under a right wing lens? Oh, yeah... I forgot about Katrina.

Just look at what Bush has done to the US and tell me if his policies are in the best interests of the American people.

Milosevic certainly was guilty on varioius counts for the killing of innocent civilians. But what people failed to understand is he was president during very tough times. His country was splitting apart, and islamic extremism was right around the corner.

Let me remind you of Abraham Lincoln. He pushed his authority to the limit, violated people's civil rights, restricted constitutional rights, put people in prision for expressing their views, etc. All to keep the union together and for the best of his country. Do we whine and blame him for that? Did we put him on trial for that? No. As a matter of fact many of us think he was a great leader.
The trial was recessed last week to await his next defense witness. Milosevic also was waiting for a court decision on his request to subpoena former President Clinton as a witness. He was due to complete his defense this summer.
The hundreds of witnesses included former U.S. Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO commander during the Balkan wars. Milosevic also tried to subpoena former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former German Chancellor Gerhard Shroeder and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
