A MAN WE CAN DO BUSINESS WITH
The Guardian ran a great piece by Ed Vulliamy this morning, reminding us that Radovan Karadzic was considered sole legitimate representative of the Bosnian Serb people by Britain and France at the height of his powers. The Times, meanwhile, treated us to the thoughts of David Owen, one of the guilty men in the Karadzic appeasement disgrace. The Times does not for some reason seem proud of its scoop in getting Owen to write on Karadzic's arrest: at some point today his article disappeared from the paper's comment menu.

'Bosnia war dead figure announced
A new independent study has concluded that at least 97,207 people were killed in the Bosnian war in the 1990s - fewer than was previously estimated.
The three-year study was carried out by the Research and Documentation Center in Sarajevo and was funded mainly by the Norwegian government.
The Center said some 65% of those killed were Bosnian Muslims.'
This is typical of Vulliamy's hysterical, one-sided and fact free reporting of what was a vicious civil was with war crimes committed by all sides in the conflict.
