Yay! War Criminals will be found! Top war crimes suspect Karadzic arrested in Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia - Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, accused architect of massacres making him one of the world's top war crimes fugitives, was arrested Monday evening in a raid that ended a near 13-year manhunt, the country's president and the U.N. tribunal said.


Karadzic is the suspected mastermind of mass killings that the U.N. war crimes tribunal described as "scenes from hell, written on the darkest pages of human history." They include the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica, Europe's worst slaughter since World War II.

"This is a very important day for the victims who have waited for this arrest for over a decade. It is also an important day for international justice because it clearly demonstrates that nobody is beyond the reach of the law," said Serge Brammertz, the tribunal's head prosecutor.

2. The guy is a piece of garbage
My guess is they only caught him because his health is in decline.

He'll get quality medical care. Which may seem unfair to some people -- but it's part of being a civilized society, that we do those things to even the lowest of humanoid life forms. (I can't bring myself to refer to him as a person -- he abdicated that 15 years ago.)

He'll die in prison.

The UN Commander in Bosnia (from the Netherlands) should be tried with him for turning those men and boys over to him.

My only hope is his cell mate is elmer fudd cheney.
