(Do the denizens of the Western press bordellos receive coupons or frequent flyer miles for every time they retail some threadbare derogatory cliche? Can't their masters afford a thesaurus?)] Tuesday July 31 9:59 AM ET Ex-U.S. Attorney Ramsey Clark Sees Milosevic in Jail AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark visited ousted Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic in a U.N. detention unit near The Hague, a spokesman for the war crimes tribunal said on Tuesday. New York-based Clark, who condemned the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia during the conflict over Kosovo, had said Milosevic asked him through intermediaries earlier this month to see him. Tribunal spokesman Jim Landale said the visit lasted ``a couple of hours´´ on Monday but that Clark was not acting as Milosevic´s lawyer. ``He has not been given power of attorney for Mr. Milosevic but he is giving him legal advice,´´ Landale said. No details of Clark's visit were available. The former Serbian strongman was arrested in Belgrade last month and sent to The Hague to be tried for crimes against humanity related to mass killings and expulsions of Kosovo Albanians in 1999 by Serbian forces under his command. Milosevic has steadfastly refused to accept legal representation in a show of contempt against the tribunal, and remains in solitary confinement at his own request. Clark, 73, a campaigner for left-wing and other causes often at odds with U.S. authorities, served as attorney general under President Lyndon Johnson in the late 1960s. He had previously visited Milosevic in Belgrade in 1999. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
