- jqm 13y agoExcuse me? A prominent member of "Anything"? A regime that invaded another country under false pretenses resulting in the death of of at least 100,000 thousand is just "Anything"? That's just "small potato political differences" to you?
- mpyne 13y agoWhen the Allies charged prominent Nazis with war crimes, it was because of their specific involvement in such crimes, not just because they had committed the heinous crime of "being an infamous Nazi".
- jqm 13y agoBeing a key member of an administration that engaged in torture, domestic surveillance and starting a war of aggression is pretty egregious. She wasn't just filling a seat. You can see her statements supporting torture for instance. And, most especially in the case of Rice/Dropbox the issue is support for warrentless surveillance. What Nazis were charged with is hardly relevant.
