This is like arguing Eichmann had no part in the holocaust because he just organized the trains. I imagine the Cambodians would make the same distinction the Israelis did, in that both men were clearly evil people.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Eichmann had no part in the holocaust because he just organized the trains Eichman was an SS officer! In what way did he lack command authority?
- __loam 3y agoKissinger was picking out targets in Cambodia. In what way was he not deeply involved?
- JumpCrisscross 3y agoNobody asked if he was “deeply involved.” Nobody is even contesting that he acted illegally. Solely that he was a war criminal, which has a specific legal meaning. War criminal is the new RICO. Except the latter doesn’t lose legitimacy when the public mis-uses it.
