Reply #24: I didn't notice FDR, Stalin, or Churchill in the dock at Nuremberg--so to take Glen's cited, moral

Now, don't blame me if Glen dirtied up his own point by picking a Stalinist apologist--although to be fair, we were Allies at the time, and the Allies were all too willing to manipulate the Katyn indictments to keep Stalin happy. Yes--Nuremberg should be a shining example to us all, eh? Justice at the end of a rope for many--and OBL got it at the end of a bullet.

More navel-gazing. The next time Mr. Greenwald does so, he might make sure that his moral example didn't collect evidence at the end of a gun...
