Comments on: Gary McKinnon, Earth Hour http://www.davidgilmourblog.com/2009/03/gary-mckinnon-earth-hour.html Blogging since 2005 and still not David Gilmour Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:18:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andrew http://www.davidgilmourblog.com/2009/03/gary-mckinnon-earth-hour.html/comment-page-1#comment-65917 Andrew Tue, 12 May 2009 12:38:16 +0000 http://www.davidgilmourblog.com/?p=1897#comment-65917 Well, according to <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/05/12/us.demjanjuk/index.html?eref=rss_topstories" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><b>this</b></a> article, they deported the alleged war crimes criminal from the U.S. to Germany. The U.S. legal system did not fail in this one although I realize some may think it cruel to deport a person who is in failing health. I guess Gary is still fighting his extradition. Thanks. Andrew Well, according to this article, they deported the alleged war crimes criminal from the U.S. to Germany. The U.S. legal system did not fail in this one although I realize some may think it cruel to deport a person who is in failing health.

I guess Gary is still fighting his extradition.

Thanks.

Deportation from the U.S. to Germany allegedly for war crimes committed over 60 years ago. Should German courts have an opportunity to bring this man to trial? Is it cruel to force an old, ailing man to defend himself for acts that happened so long ago? I have my opinions and they are no different than what I stated here earlier. Just curious if people feel the same way about this bloke as they do about Gary. Thanks. Andrew I realize that many don’t bother with older posts once new ones are put up but I wonder what the thoughts would be regarding this situation.

Carting someone off to a foreign land without having to offer any evidence of the person's guilt is caveman mentality that every right thinking citizen ought to oppose. If the American prosecutors claim "National Security" or something similar for not offering such evidence, that is their problem, not the defendants. But if he is guilty, and the evidence is provided, then he has to pay the price for the laws he has broken. Most legal systems these days take mental illness into consideration when passing judgement, including America.
