War criminals and fallen tyrants and serious illness

[Old Greg]

Not Osama bin Laden.

He is a perfect example of someone suffering a life threatening condition before he could be brought to justice.

Didn't Ronnie Biggs only come out of hiding for NHS Treatment?

[SimonMac]

Not Osama bin Laden.

I think 6 bullets in the head is a pretty life threatening condition.

I think 6 bullets in the head is a pretty life threatening condition.

No, actually you are wrong - 6 bullets in his head PREVENTED life threatening conditions.

[Clippy]

Am I the only person who senses a trend that when war criminals or tyrants or terrorists are brought to justice they all seem to suffer some chronic life threatening disease?

Mladic is said to have a serous heart condition.
Miliosevic died during his trial.
That Libyan bloke was released with cancer but didn't die within a few months
Demjanjuk has pleaded ill health.

Is there some merciful virus that selects the world's biggest asswipes, but isn't quite advanced enough to do it on time?

Fingers crossed Bush, Cheney, Perle, Rumsfeld, Blair & Kissinger keep this trend going.

Didn't Ronnie Biggs only come out of hiding for NHS Treatment?

Yep.

He got free-care in prison then complained as he was refused release on compassionate grounds for a few years.

Then when he was finally released his health improved.
