...Justice League: Hollywood Thank you for Amy Sullivan's candid assessment of the Roman Polanski crime [Oct. 12]. It is ironic that Hollywood is exuberant about throwing a demonstrably contrite Mel Gibson under the bus yet is eager to rally around an unrepentant Polanski.

"It's a catastrophe," says Munira Subasic, the head of the Mothers of Srebrenica organization. She lost 22 members of her family, including her 14-year-old son Nermin, whose body was never found. "That criminal didn't even have guts to look us in the eyes," she adds, referring to Karadzic. "This is nothing but a circus." (Read " 'Not Guilty' Plea Entered for Karadzic...
...court on Tuesday, several head-scarfed Bosnian women assembled on the lawn and declared that they would not leave before they saw Karadzic in the dock. Some said they would even go on a hunger strike. But after a short while, they all turned and slowly headed toward their bus...
