This isn't eye-for-an-eye - do you think Demjanjuk is going to be tortured and kill the same way he supposedly did it?
In Israel he was accused of different crimes - it's not double j.
If there's to be justice he has to stand trial. I don't care how old he or any other person is.

0Nils - you miss Rikken's point. It is not about guilt it is about manipulation by the powerful who, not ironically at all - considering realpolitik then and now -are just as guilty as any war criminals. Proven or alleged.
Rikken wrote: "It is unfortunate that long after the admitted injustices of such episodes as Operation Keelhaul, they found a willing partner in the US Department of Justice's Office of Special Investigations. Very real and justified outrage -- over the fact that so many high-level Nazis had managed to escape to places like South America and reinvent themselves -- was twisted maliciously and exploited."
And it is still onesided, and the US is still complicit to this day for not being as vigorous in expelling"alleged" Soviet war criminals as it is in sending "alleged" Nazi war criminals to face what cannot honestly be claimed in 2009 to be a trial of any legal worth (witnesses dead, hearsay rules...)
Rikken is emphasizing is the double standard, no more, no less, and many Estonians like his grandfather have done so quietly for decades.
