The Secret Life of Radovan Karadzic: The War Crimes Fugitive Lived a Life as an Alternative Medicine Healer

NPR's Deborah Amos and Sylvia Poggioli report on the hidden life of former Bosnian Serb leader and current war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic. He was hard to catch because he had help from friends who gave him assistance in concealing himself over the years, and because he changed his appearance so successfully. Commentators note he "looked like something...out of Harry Potter", or "like Professor Dumbledore." Although educated in traditional medicine and qualified as a psychiatrist, he worked "underground" as an alternative healer in "human quantum energy", maintained a website, and published articles on alternative medicine in the leading popular magazines. Now he's headed for trial at the Hague, where he apparently plans to take on his own defense.
