Germany was a dictatorship

But liberals (around 50% of the population) still are the good guys.

Want to see a media type freak out and act like you should be banned for ALL time from getting on the air?

Make the statement I just made.

Mind you that claiming this country is Conservative can be said all day every day despite all the actual issue polls showing it's not.

And they live mostly in urban areas.

Most media types are in cahoots with the corrupt plutocrats at the top, otherwise they'd get fired (and they know it).

legal doesn't always mean right.

And, in Snowden's case, right doesn't always mean legal.

The Courts in Nuremberg had to work around the legal concept that a country can kill off its own citizens if it so decide. That was an iron clan International Rule. Thus the Courts preferred to punish the organizers of the Holocaust for killing people outside Germany (that was clearly illegal) and for violating the Treaty Germany had signed in the 1920s outlawing aggressive wars rather then the Holocaust itself. Subsequent cases generally involved the actual Nations where the Holocaust took Place (Poland mostly, for most European Jews lived in Poland before WWII) or by Israel to get around this concept that a nation can kill off its own citizens if it wanted to.

Now, that whole concept was outlawed under various post WWII, UN and Geneva Convention Treaties, but at the time the Holocaust occurred it was technically Legal for Germany to kill of its own citizens.

How can you charge someone with a crime that wasn't a crime at the time they were committed?

It's one thing to make something a crime after something happens to stop the NEXT GUY but to convict someone on a law you create on the spot is just not done. ESPECIALLY in the case of a capital offense.

Europe has a long history of tyrants killing off every single citizen of a conquered people on a whim.
