Reply #18: MSNBC: Clark to testify at war-crimes trial

[IndianaGreen]

For those of you that missed Wesley Clark's appearance on Meet the Press today, I highly recommend that you watch the rerun tonight at 10 PM ET on CNBC.

Some may think that Timmy Russert pitched softballs to Clark, but it is not true. Russert pitched poisoned darts to Clark, covering all of the controversial issues about Clark that have been discussed in DU.

IMHO I think Clark did an excellent job responding to all the questions, and in dispelling whatever doubts one may have had about his character and candidacy.

Ex-NATO general to idle campaign for testimony at the Hague

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 — Retired Gen. Wesley Clark will interrupt briefly his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to testify at the U.N. war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

CLARK SAID Sunday the Swiss chief prosecutor in the trial at The Hague, Carla Del Ponte, has asked him to appear in mid-December to testify against the ousted Serb leader.

“Because of the historic importance of this proceeding — the first trial of a head of state before a war crimes tribunal — I have agreed to appear,” Clark said in a statement.

He said the U.S. government has authorized his participation.
