all sorts of people may find themselves defined as patients in the mental health sphere.

if someone has just been discharged from a mental hospital it need not have any bearing on their fitness to give evidence in a court. crimes of exactly the sort Milosevic is charged with can result in people suffering mental health problems (perpetrators and victims alike).

and witnesses from terrorist organisations? there's a phrase to get everyone worked up. there's a saying 'you can't be a terrorist if you've got an airforce' - the meaning being that 'legitimate' national governments use methods and tactics that would be deemed terrorism if carried out by other bodies.

"wrong medicine" - medicine for conditions like his is a bit 'suck-it-and-see' - it's possible that a conspiracy exists to give him placebo pills or even poisons but its also possible that he's been given a number of different medications to see which ones are most suited to him

I can't really comment on Milosevic personally but I have a problem with your line of argument - especially about mental patients.

I was refering to one of their star witnesses, who claimed to have been ordered to carry out massacres, and who turned out to be a Croat not a Serb. And it was either him, or another one, who also I think turned out to be mentally ill and a total liar, though I may have got my facts confused on that issue. Another witness turned out to be the brother of the brutal Islamist Nasir Oric, who, according to local UN commanders, burned down over 200 Serbian villages, and, when meeting with Telegraph reporters, showed them videos of decapitated Serbs and boasted about how many innocents he had killed.

I didn't make any generalising comments about "mental patients".

The phrase "terrorist organisations" SHOULD get people worked up. It's a charged phrase. There is absolutely no equivalency between a legtimate elected government defending itself and terrorists. Slobodan Milosevic was the democratically elected leader of Serbia and hence it was the duty of his government to protect all citizens of Serbia. The KLA/UCK were brutal Islamist-fascist terrorists, who wanted an ethnically pure "Greater Albania", of which Kosovo would be a part. They trained in Pakistan and were armed by Iran and other Islamic countries, and were then decked out with uniforms and trained by the Germans, and then armed by America, and then recieved more training from the SAS! They got most of their money through extortion and organised crime in Europe, and organised most of the international heroine smuggling. They were brutal murderers who slaughtered anyone who they considered a "collaborator". They assasinated innocent people, blew up bombs in cafes, and so on. They ethnically cleansed Serbian villages. They assasinated Albanians who opposed them or who supported the Yugoslav government, in order to enforce clan loyalty and obedience. They forcible conscripted people to their brutal terrorist army and ordered everyone to leave Kosovo, so as to give the impression of a humanitarian disaster for the Western media. When they returned, under NATO guidance, they ethnically cleansed over 300,000 Serbs, Roma ("Gypsies", of which there were 150,000), Jews, Slavic Muslims, and so on. They are quite clearly TERRORISTS.

It's obvious from news reports and so on that I've read and facts I've encountered that the Hague Inquisition has been deliberately mistreating Milosevic.
