Be that as it may, the guy who perpetrated the My Lai Massacre got house arrest, and that was only after documents on the event were leaked to the press. Then, Colin Powell, the guy who got this person their slap on the wrist, was later a central figure in government and could have been president.

It is exceedingly unlikely that anyone will ever face justice for the atrocities that will come of this. Nuremberg was the exception, not the rule.
