It's not that the indictment of Milosevic mentioned Karadzic and was filled with "outside players" and the indictment of Karadzic doesn't mention Milosevic and only barely touches the Yugoslav army as an outside player.
Nope. It's something much more mundane than that.
There is a whole page of "copyright waived" photographs of the detention unit for our ghoulish entertainment.

They give you loads of information, the rules, the regimen, they even give you a walk-about video - so you too can know what it's like to be a genocidal monster on trial.
You get a 15m2 cell which they assure us exceeds international standards for space, lighting and facilities and is designed for single occupancy. Odd isn't it, that the more people you kill and slaughter, and the longer you get away with that - the more comfortably you are imprisoned and the better facilities you are offered.
Each cell contains a bed, desk, shelving, cupboard, toilet, hand basin, TV and intercom for communication with the officers whilst the cell is locked. There is also a gym, Education and Occupational Therapy section (for yoga or whatever it was guru man did) and of course a "spirituality room" for getting close to an accredited God or higher moral force.
Now they are not encouraging us (having encouraged me I encourage you) to look at their detention units as proof of the legacy IKEA® or House and Interiors© have had on the process of bringing genocidal monsters to international justice.
And judging by the fact that the BBC took them up on the publicity step yesterday by disseminating the "inside a ICTY cell" video http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7532655.stm there is some importance to this little fact-sheet which actually gets its own thumbnail image on the ICTY Karadzic homepage http://www.un.org/icty/latest-e/pressindex.htm
I wonder is it because on March 11th 2006 Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was found dead in the detention centre at The Hague tribunal in a cell just like that.
You see how they get better at what they do every time?
Maybe by the time they get round to bringing Mladić out of leotards and sunglasses to have his day in court, they will have improved the process to include Youtube or Podcasts of genocidal monsters talking to those Higher Moral forces in the spirituality room.
