In sentencing the nazi criminals to death he states "if certain acts of violations of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them....to pass these defendants a poisoned chalice is to put it to our own lips as well." Eloquent. However, the wording of the "crimes" was crafted to exclude war crimes clearly committed by the US and it's allies.
