1. That poor old man screaming in pain as the evil ICE agents removed him and his wheelchair

from his home. I saw the entire sad episode on a CNN live feed. How sad.... NOT!

This human filth may have not been Ivan the Terrible, as those due process loving people in Israel found, but he certainly was a SS guard at Sobibor. This is not a charge brought by Israel or by the Wiesenthal Center, but by the Federal Republic of Germany. Prosecutors in Germany have painstakingly build a case against Ivan Demjanjuk and they have enough evidence to bring him to trial.

The only issue involving Demjanjuk's troubles with ICE is that the sob lied about his past when he came to the United States. This shit has dragged long enough, and it is long overdue that this criminal faces justice. Demjanjuk's victims didn't get to live a full life and get a pension from a major American auto manufacturer.

Off with his head!

2. Prosecutors Not Just Targeting Demjanjuk

Prosecutors Not Just Targeting Demjanjuk

Germany Has Sights on Several Alleged Nazi War Criminals
By SPIEGEL Staff

John Demjanjuk is not an isolated case. German investigators have set their sights on other presumed Nazi war criminals, raising the question of how the law should deal with the aged accessories of the Holocaust.

When he had completed the job, SS Colonel Karl Jäger, filled with pride, wrote in his report to his superiors: "Today, I am proud to report that the objective of solving the Jewish problem for Lithuania has been achieved by Task Force 3. There are no longer any Jews in Lithuania ..."

It was Dec. 1, 1941, and German troops had occupied Lithuania, which was part of the Soviet Union, since the summer. According to Colonel Jäger's meticulous account, his subordinates had killed exactly 47,326 men, 55,556 women and 34,464 children.

But Jäger did not claim all the credit for himself and the 120 men he commanded. He was only able to achieve his goal, the ardent Hitler supporter wrote, because one of his subordinates had managed to "secure the cooperation of the Lithuanian partisans."

The "partisans" Jäger referred to were anti-communist militia units that had once fought against the Soviet occupation and had now become the willing helpers of their new, German masters. One such incident of voluntary collaboration took place on August 15 and 16, 1941, in Rokiskis, a town in northeastern Lithuania, where 80 Lithuanians rounded up Jews, brought them to an execution site and helped lock up the victims. Twenty of the Lithuanian volunteers joined Jäger's men in shooting them dead.
