Milosevic gave the interview to a journalist from the French daily Le Figaro, which published it Friday, despite the UN court's strict rules that defendants should not speak to the media.   ''''Strict'''' rules? for Milosevic not to talk to the media? not even through an attorney???  The man is being tried for serious crimes...by a court that slammed 3 men with life in prison for committing genocide by words and a radio,[ Men Armed 'Only With Words' Can Commit Genocide ] while they defend this:

From the book that the Albanians worship:

009.005 fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war).  

008.067 It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war [slay them] until he hath thoroughly subdued the land.

002.191 Slay them wherever ye catch them

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks. [Behead them]

How can the U.N. see themselves worthy to judge ANYONE for genocide war crimes, while they defend the worst offender of all?

The paper said it was conducted in the office he is using to conduct his own defence, which it said is equipped with a telephone, fax machine and a computer but not Internet.

Milosevic, who was dressed in sandals and without a tie, told the paper "the judges of the court had received instructions from Western governments who have sworn to ruin me."

"This trial has been hatched by the NATO powers [Wesley Clark] ," said Milosevic, who apparently gave the interview in "near-perfect English" to the French paper, presenting himself as the victim of a "political trial".  Speaking of Wesley Clark....

Reuters reported on Aug 2,

Russian troops unexpectedly set up camp at Kosovo's Pristina airport while NATO and Moscow were still negotiating a role for Russia's forces in the province.

Without citing sources, the U.S. magazine [Newsweek] said Clark ``was so anxious to stop the Russians from stealing a march to Pristina airport that he ordered an airborne assault to take the field before them'' but Jackson refused his orders.

Newsweek said Clark subsequently asked U.S. Adm. James Ellis Jr., head of NATO's Southern Command, to order helicopters to land on the airport's runways to keep Russian Ilyushin transport planes from using them. Ellis balked, saying Jackson would not like that, according to the magazine.

``I'm not going to start World War III for you,'' Jackson is quoted as having told Clark later.

When both generals appealed to political leaders back home for support, Newsweek continued, Jackson got it and Clark did not, meaning that his orders as supreme commander had effectively been overruled.

The airport standoff was ultimately resolved through negotiations when NATO and Moscow agreed that the Russians, traditional allies of the Serbs.

Wesley Clark was willing to risk relations between Russia and the U.S. to protect Albanian Muslims [and an Islamic constitution] .....who are STILL provoking and slaughtering the Serbs, burning down their homes and churches.

[What Wesley Clark should be fighting for...are the Albanian Muslims....showing them that their god is not right in telling them to slaughter each other]

He [Milosevic] claimed that the Srebrenica massacre, where 7,000 Muslim men and boys were slain by Serb forces in 1995, "was an immense strategic error of the Bosnian Serbs, with whom I was having a very bad relationship at the time". [no statements in the name of Milosevic can have the same value as Milosevic being able to speak for himself through an attorney...freely]

The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague said the French journalist Renaud Girard had snuck in to see Milosevic under false pretences.

"Renaud Girard was not admitted into the detention ward as a journalist. He was admitted on condition that no article would come out of it," court spokesman Christian Chartier told AFP.

"It is regrettable that such a publication would give the impression that we accord privileges to some members of the media, which is not the case." 

But Girard said Friday he had the right to interview Milosevic.

"I did not infringe the rules of the ICTY insofar as I did not go through the ICTY to meet Milosevic," he told AFP.

"I came with one of Milosevic's advisers and I signed a paper which any visitor signs barring me from describing the place of detention and the state of health of Milosevic," he said.

In his interview, Milosevic said that the fugitive wartime Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, who faces charges from the court including genocide for his role in Bosnia's 1992-1995 war, was not responsible for the Srebenica massacre, seen as one of the greatest atrocities in Europe since World War II.

"I do not think that he could order such a thing that goes against Serbian military honour like executing prisoners of war. It's true that he was seen in Srebrenica on the televsion pictures... but I think that he left and the murders were not a result of his actions."

Despite continuing health problems Milosevic has been doggedly conducting his own defence against more than 60 charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the 1990s wars in the Balkans.

Why is this world court defending Islam -- whose 'fruit' are responsible for the Vicious unprovoked slaughter of so many innocent Russian children?

004.095 Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward.
