Ratko Mladic: Hague tribunal ‘will get proof of former Serb general’s ill health’
June 2, 2011 No Comment
• Lawyer says suspected war criminal had lymph node cancer • Mladic could try to implicate Dutch in Srebrenica massacre Ratko Mladic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb army, is due to appear in front of an international court at The Hague at 10am on Friday to answer 11 charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, amid questions over his health. His arraignment in court 1 of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague gives the families of thousands of his army’s victims their first clear look at a man who went on the run 16 years ago when he was first indicted for his alleged role in ethnic cleansing in Bosnia from 1992 to 1995: including the siege of Sarajevo, the Srebrenica massacre and the hostage-taking of UN personnel. Mladic’s long-awaited appearance in front of three judges – from the Netherlands, Germany and South Africa – promises an insight into his health problems, which are concerning prosecutors. His lawyer, Milos Saljic, on Thursday claimed to have documents proving that the former general, now 69, had suffered lymph node cancer and was treated at a Serbian hospital in 2009. Previously he had said that Mladic could die before the trial; there had also been unconfirmed reports that Mladic had had two strokes. Court officials said that since Mladic’s entry into custody on Tuesday night, following his extradition from Serbia that day, he had been communicative for long periods and co-operative. He had undergone a battery of health tests to sort fact from rumour, officials said. When faced with the charges Mladic could re-state his position that he does not respect the legitimacy of the court; he could enter a plea immediately or within 30 days, or he could refuse to respond to the charges and the court would then

June 2, 2011 No Comment
Good Morning America correspondent John Berman on Thursday offered a sarcastic take on Sarah Palin's tour, dismissing it as a “magical mystery bus.” He also spun a possible 2012 run by Palin as making fellow Republican Mitt Romney appear ” more safe, a more secure, a more reasonable candidate .” Anchor George Stephanopoulos introduced this concept by musing, “Maybe [the Romney campaign wants] her in the race after all, John. She gives Romney the perfect foil.” Berman described that as “exactly right” and added, ” And it might make the former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, seem like a more safe, a more secure, a more reasonable candidate.” Berman speculated about the pitfalls of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie using a helicopter to attend his son's baseball game. He asserted that is was “unclear whether this might dampen calls for Christie to enter the race.” (That seems like a bit of a stretch for such a minor controversy.) A transcript of the June 02 segment, which aired at 7:15am EDT, follows: GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Now, the race for the White House. Sarah Palin claims she's not campaigning. But after a busy day in New York, she is in Boston today, then New Hampshire. Already there, the early front-runner for the Republican nomination. And Mitt Romney is going to make it official today, formally launching his campaign in Stratham. John Berman joins us from there. Good morning, john. JOHN BERMAN: Good morning, George. Well, this really does feel like the biggest day of this election so far. Mitt Romney will be making his announcement a few miles down the road from here with a chili cookout. But will some of the spice in that chili be watered down by a clam bake? Because, that's right. Sarah Palin reportedly coming to New Hampshire tonight to host a clam bake on the coast. Sarah Palin's magical mystery bus continues to wind its way up the east coast and is now getting ready to go national.

That Toshiba Thrive tablet that surfaced on J&R’s site last month? Turns out, someone got a little excited — the company just confirmed the listing went up prematurely and that the price was wrong. But, we just got word that the Thrive will indeed debut as Tosh’s first tablet for the US market with pre-orders beginning June 13th at Best Buy, along with the usual “office superstores” and “e-commerce players,” and a mid-July ship date (we’re hearing the 10th). The 10.1-inch (1280 x 800) tablet runs Android 3.1, and comes in three sizes: 8GB ($429), 16GB ($479), and 32GB ($579). Not bad, when you consider the 16GB model undercuts the Galaxy Tab 10.1 by $20. If you’ve been following along, you already know it’s powered by Tegra 2 and has WiFi, Bluetooth, full-sized USB and HDMI ports, an SD slot, a 2 MP front-facing camera, and a 5MP rear one. But the company also just unleashed a slew of other details. Head on past the break for a run-down, won’t you?
