Spring Break in Bosnia

The Hunting Party (formerly Spring Break in Bosnia) has been released in the States last week. The movie is based on a true story, though from the trailer it looks quite cheesy. Could it be that the reality is cheesy, too? IMDB.com has a rating of 7.8/10 from 157 voters.

If you believe the latest account by this ICTY official you are led to believe that the two dudes on spring break (the much more descriptive title for the movie) got much closer to getting Karadzic than NATO ever did. Russia, in line with its respect for international law and order, threatened if the arrest happened. US didn't want to disturb Russia. With only France left to fight for international justice. No, no, wait, France had to revenge the blood of its numerous peacekeepers killed thoughtlessly by Karadzic's soldiers.

How can they find the world's most wanted war criminal when the C.I.A. can't? [by actually looking]

Murky. I wonder how much Clinton's notorious hesitancy to take decisive action (till his last week in office) and how much Srebrenica revelations were responsible for the delay. It's interesting Hartmann is raising the subject. I wonder how much more speculation she will fuel - I presume she's now left ICTY and feels less constrained.
