They Caught Rasputin
Curse Boy asks the penetrating questions.
He ran for 13 years subsuming numerous aliases, one of which was a Serbian Orthodox priest… yes indeed, the friendly pastor-human delivering moving sermons from the pulpit was on the run from international prosecutors for killing 8 000 Muslim men and boys. When he wasn’t pastoring he was kicking it with the monks back at the cave in Bosnia.
Do religious groups no longer ask penetrating questions when they interview for new staff, perhaps “If you stood before a tribunal at the Hague, would they hang you by the neck until dead for war crimes?” should be on the list of things to ask. Maybe they did ask all the right questions:
“what do you do on weekends?”
“I kill Muslims”
“excellent, you can start on Monday”.
A little more attention please and Rasputin could have gone to trial for war crimes 13 years ago. They’ve finally caught Radovan Karadzic but arrest him and indict him so Serbia can become part of the EU. That whole “worst massacre in Europe since WWII” thing must have lost some of its potency over last decade.
If they had started the trial 13 years ago they would have had him ready and waiting for a conviction now - the beauty of international justice. It’s amazing that more people aren’t war criminals. The geyser’s bones will have turned to dust before his case is heard before the tribunal in the Hague.
