Ex-Yugoslavian dictator Slobodan Milosevic was found dead in his prison cell at the Hague this morning.
The inept ICC was no match for the former ruler of Yugoslavia as he turned his war crimes trial into a farce, and now they've lost their best chance to establish a bonafide record against an established war criminal and murderer.
They wasted years on this trial and have nothing to show for it but egg in their faces. 200,000 lie dead because of this man and he slipped through their fingers because they were not in charge of their own courtroom. Why? They successfully produced verdicts against fifty-six others accused of lesser war crimes during the Balkans wars.
They need to do some serious revisions to their court procedures to prevent something like this from happening again.
Even the trials at Neuremburg of Nazi war criminals didn't last as long as Milosevic's did, and there was no end in sight at the time of his death.
A historic opportunity has been lost.
