Tiré de "Documentary Shows Softer Side of Russia's 'Merchant of Death'" "Bout had a vague idea of making a movie about his life. In one bit of footage, his associates train Rwandan soldiers in gas masks. "These will be the funniest shots in the whole movie," Bout says with relish. Other moments show him with figures such as Jean-Pierre Bemba, the Congolese politician who has been tried in The Hague for war crimes. But even when Bout is in the middle of the world's most violent conflicts, he unfailingly acts like a tourist, merrily taking snapshots of the locals and suggesting the home of a deposed leader be turned into honeymoon suites."
