As of today, the most wanted war criminal in Europe, Sr. Radovan Karadzic, is in prison.
Bloomberg reports, "The Bosnian Serb wartime leader, was arrested by Serbian security forces after spending 13 years in hiding to avoid charges of genocide over the murder of almost 8,000 Muslims..."
As Thomas O. Melia over at Freedom House quipped, "It's no coincidence that the Serbian government appointed a new head of security on Friday and this arrest happened just three days later."
To be fair, Karadzic's location was the worst kept secret in Serbia. His taylor knew where he lived, as did his grocer, the grandmother who suspiciously eyed his door through her peephole, and most of the Serbian government.
Still, if Slobodan Miloshevich's trial is any indication, Karadzic will die warm in his bed, after endless appeals, attended by the best doctors in Europe.
But some will still remember, Srebrenica.

That should be the International Criminal Tribunal's motto: We serve revenge in a warm bed.
