Look Ma, A Serbian War Criminal!


I have to admit, when I heard that they had captured Radovan Karadzic, I just assumed that he was in hiding insome remote area in the middle of nowhere.

Nope, not at all.

According to a fascinating article in the New York Times Karadzic just grew out his hair, grew out a beard, put on a pair of glasses and hung out in Belgrade (the capital of Serbia) giving lectures on alternative medicine.

Seriously man, you couldn't make this stuff up if your tried. I mean, the Bond villain usually pontificates about faking his own death, getting plastic surgery, and then getting away with it all (of course, the whole time being completely oblivious to our man Jimmy making his own plans), but this is something different altogether.

Truth, as they say is stranger than fiction, way stranger.
