Serbia captures fugitive Karadzic:
Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, one of the world's most wanted men, has been arrested in Serbia after more than a decade.
He has been brought before Belgrade's war crimes court, in accordance with a law on cooperation with the Hague Tribunal, the Serbian presidency said. The Bosnian Serb wartime political leader disappeared in 1996.
He had been indicted by the UN tribunal for war crimes and genocide over the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica.
Perhaps his poetry will get better once he starts writing it in jail....

And, do not miss this, Jasmina Tesanovic has a good look at the news.

Radovan Karadzic, one of the worst mass-murders of the post-WWII era, has been captured, or, perhaps more properly, has been allowed to be captured. Karadzic was responsible for orchestrating the murders of tens of thousands of Bosnian Muslims during the Balkan Wars.
This is about the Israeli invasion of Gaza. Because it cannot be ignored. Let me be clear at the outset: I think the assault on Gaza is brutal, vicious and cruel, the act of a notorious regional bully.
Excellent. Truly, madly, deeply excellent.
As much as I generally loathe, abhor, despise, detest, and abominate the idea of capital punishment, I'm more than willing to make an exception for monsters like this. May he get what he deserves.
