War crime tribunals aren’t necessarily gay stomping grounds, but not in the case of Bosnian Serb militant leader Radovan Karadzic, who’s currently on trial for genocide at The Hague.

Karadzic has been on the run since 1995, when he was accused of organizing massacres to ethnically cleanse Serbua went on the run following the fall of the Serbian government in 1995 and was captured last month in Belgrade. Following the arrest, Karadzic pointed a finger at Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who helped broker peace under the Clinton Administration.

Karadzic claims Holbrooke cut him a deal: he wouldn’t face charges if he got out of the political game and went into hiding. Holbrooke continually denies those claims.

Regardless, conspiracy theories abound that the CIA spoke with Karadzic directly before his arrest to ensure his silence.

[Agents asked] him not to reveal the deal with Holbrooke. In return, they offered him a 40-year sentence in a luxury Swedish prison, Serbian Press Online writes.
….
They also told him that if he does not agree, he would serve his sentence in the worst British prison, together with serial killers, drug dealers and rapists. They threatened him that he would be completely compromised in the Serbian public when they published edited homosexual porn footage, apart from continuing with severe pressure on his family to keep the deal a secret and went to extreme measures to ensure the Serb’s silence.

Hmm, that seems a bit far fetched. We know the CIA’s hardcore and all, but how many agents can stomach editing Karadzic into a skin flick. They’d need robots for such an endeavor.
