3. Some would say...

It was a better death then he deserved. A lot of people did not die so peacefully, thanks to his actions.

If there is a traditional christian afterlife, he has a lot of 'splainin' to do, Lucy.

5. Wonder when they're gonna release the cause of death.

Doubt it was suicide: he, like Bush, thought too highly of himself.

Probably a heart attack.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Sorry. I have no kind words.

9. And less than a week after another criminal died there:

"His death comes less than a week after the star witness in his trial, former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, was found dead in the same prison. Babic, who was serving a 13-year prison sentence, committed suicide. He testified against Milosevic in 2002."
