This just doesn't fit into the concept machine...
I'm sorry, guys like this should not be able to negotiate such generous 'compensation' for surrender! Mladic should do it for the good of his country and his people otherwise he should be captured. In fact I find the fact neither he nor Karadzic were captured to be suspect. It's bad enough what people went through because of these guys, why should they be bribed this way? Why should they be cossetted and mollycoddled? Both these guys are the strongest arguments anyone can use on me to argue for the death penalty, short of pedophilia.
I don't know how many of you remember the famous case of the Bandit Queen in India back in the 1980s, her lover Vikram told her, 'Kill one and they will hang you, kill 20 and you will be worshipped like a goddess!'
Maybe some of the same factor is at work here....Guys who killed one or two are causeing all the news, and the others well they get the good cells, if they even get detained or inconvenienced in the least.
