Radovan Karadzic and Denial.

Radovan Karadzic’s arrest has spawned a rear guard action to defend him, but as with such tactics rather than flat denial of his culpability there is a conscious move to minimalise his role in numerous massacres and play down the number of those killed.

It is rather sick and perverse, but in the coming months we will no doubt see a few Machiavellian figures spread doubt about the massacre at Srebrenica. They realize that they cannot outright deny that there was murder at Srebrenica rather they down play events, muddy the waters and spread blame, thus minimising Karadzic and Mladic’s roles.

To fight those deniers, here are links to reports and discussions on those horrid events. I am indebted to Marko, his informed views on the Balkans are always worth a read, over at Greater Surbiton.
