Cooking justice

They’ve found another alleged Nazi war criminal—a 93-year-old German man who’s number four on the Simon Wiesenthal list of most-wanted. The charge is that he was a guard at Auschwitz.

Hans Lipschis, who actually lived in the US until we deported him in 1983 for concealing his Nazi background, says yes, he was in the Waffen SS at the extermination camp, but he was just a cook.

Well, Steven Segal was “just a cook” in Under Siege. We all know how that turned out. I think the "just a cook" defense is in the same category as "only following orders."

That aside, I’m kind of disturbed that there are apparently another 49 old men who are known to have been guards at Auschwitz. What the hell does it take to bring these people to justice?
