...sale of arms to Iraq, the suicide of British weapons expert David Kelly and the massacre of Irish civil rights marchers by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday. The plays are riveting in their attention to detail and at times heartbreaking, as when a visibly haunted former soldier in Srebrenica recounts his forced participation in the slaughter of Muslims. "We've become the BBC of the theater," Kent says. "We've become a trusted voice...
...caught and turned over during my stay, making headlines all over the globe. Karadzic, the one-time president of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, was being brought to justice for his war crimes, particularly the decision to wipe out more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica...
...example, I met one Srebrenica victim who seemed almost staid about her traumas, as if the loss of her husbands and sons was just a bad memory, like a bad grade on a test. This woman could not speak English, and of course I did not speak BCS (Bosnian, Croat, Serbian), so we greeted each other with “As-Salamu Alaykum” (Peace be upon you).

...Robert Jay Lifton wrote, "No individual self is inherently evil, murderous or genocidal. Yet under certain conditions virtually any self is capable of becoming all of these." In Karadzic's case, the reverse was true. The warlord charged with ordering the massacre of more than 7,000 people in Srebrenica became a harmless quack described as "friendly" and "open" by his co-workers. Once a proponent of the view that the ills of society could be healed by cleansing itself of an ethnic group, Karadzic the fugitive maintained a fascination with acupuncture and meditation...
