    Bullshit!

    You commit crimes like these, you do the time. It doesn't matter who ordered him to do it; he knows he shouldn't follow illegal orders. A private citizen would get life in prison for what he did.

    As for his alleged torture in prison, he can sue like everybody else. Contact the ACLU or Amnesty International. Wouldn't that be ironic?

    Hitler's subordinates hung for their crimes.
