Miloshevic actually bought a calling card in the local prison shop. Then, he called from a public telephone in front of his cell a Fox TV station in the US or Europe. He, then waited dully to be connected to a journalist who performed the interview. All in front of a couple of burly prison guards who were not told by their crooked judges and prison officials that he is not allowed to do this. Plus, after the event he told the crooked judge that now he understands (of course, as an authoritarian bully usually demands - crystal clear) that he is not supposed to give TV interviews as a prisoner. He is a lawyer, but he did not know this, you know. Finally, he made asses of the crooked judges and their charade court. Yet the judges were stupid enough to make their irritation (and own stupidity) public. Milosevic will not repeat this again. But, I bet he will find some other way to make monkeys and asses of them (pity, we diminish these poor, good natured animals by comparing them with this refuse of humanity - NATO judges). What a hilarious piece de resistance from a typical Serb. See, this is why the Germans hate Serbs so much. I am still laughing. But, they may kill him and make it look a suicide if they lose patience with a Serb who is not scared and is just not playing by their rules.
