Alternative therapies allow you to get in touch with your inner self and heal the whole body. Our clinic spiritually cleanses you with a range of traditional methods, many tried out in 1992:

In that year, almost every Muslim was burned out of his or her home and either murdered or deported from Foca. But this was normal at the time and Foca is most renowned for rape as a weapon of subjugation. Serial testimony recounts the systematic mass rape of women and girls, some as young as 12, at centres such as the Partizan sports hall. They were assaulted all night, every night. ‘Only the women over 50 were safe,’ recalled a shopkeeper, gang-raped by uniformed soldiers at the sports centre: ‘I counted 29 of them,’ she said, ‘then lost consciousness.’ ‘I think all my life I will feel the pain I felt then,’ said another, who was 15 at the time.

It is worth reading Ed Vulliamy again on the search for Karadzic from The Observer last December

    A certain Austrian NCO was convinced of the efficacy of magic water — not a doctor though.

    Another Ed Vulliamy piece here — this time new

    Our meeting in Pale, and the discovery of the camps, was but the beginning of Bosnia’s war. For three more bloody years, although the atrocities Karadzic is accused of ordering were reported across the world and the siege of Sarajevo played out on television almost nightly, Karadzic’s hand was eagerly clasped by the world’s diplomatic leaders beneath the chandeliers of London, Paris, Geneva and elsewhere. And this is what will make the Karadzic trial so compelling, among many other things: that he is dangerous in the dock to those who dealt with him, and can tell the world what the world told him, and guaranteed him, over those three years.

    he is dangerous in the dock to those who dealt with him, and can tell the world what the world told him, and guaranteed him, over those three years

    Good, although it’s probably too much to hope that various ‘diplomats’ etc end up in the dock themselves.

    A reminder: all of those dirty little fascists at home and abroad screaming about the injustice done Milosevic and Karadzic and their supporters with their murderous ‘racial’ ideology, are no different to those supporting the Italian fascists and their antizigan and anti-migrant pogroms, or supporters of nazi ideology — it’s all of a piece.

    On that list, Crippen is a dubious item:

    A book that might get some inadvertent publicity in the wake of this is ‘A History of Political Trials’ by one John Laughland. it got quoted in a gobsmacking torygrph opinion piece out a few weeks ago that claimed the International Criminal Court (sic) is a gross infringement of civil liberties. Is this a new rallying cry for libertarians?

    The author was also plugging this on the radio last month. Apparently its those dastardly human rights extremists (!) in Amnesty International who insisted on giving poor miunderstood Augusto Pinochet a trial, and how much more civilised everything would be if only we were allowed to follow the ‘aristotelan ideal of diplmacy’ (whatever that was).

    He suggested the likes of Karadzic and co should be allowed to be exiled to their own little cottages somewhere rather than have trials and apportion blame.

    I’m sure Malcolm Rifkind and Douglas Hurd would agree.

    The guy is a rabid Eurosceptic according to Wiki, which probably means he’ll get find lots of fans in the madder sections of he far left.

    review essay arguing that John Laughland is a swivel-eyed loon with rancid politics and a set of very bad arguments.
