"Efraim Zuroff, head of the Israeli branch of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told a news conference that his mission to the southern reaches of the Americas led him to at least four people who claim to have seen Aribert Heim in the past 45 days."
"We're better off than before we came," Zuroff said. "That doesn't guarantee Heim's capture, but I'm hopeful."

You mean it wasn't your father? How eerie ;-x
Not to worry, it's my understanding Obama's grand father and great uncle will capture the suspect as soon as they can talk his uncle down from the attic.

Interesting. I couldn't begin to excuse what the guy is accused of doing. Nor could I not excuse the victims' families about wanting revenge.
But philosphically, one sometimes gets to wonder "When is enough enough?" Yeah, the US legal system has no statute of limitations on murder. That's what this was. But we're coming perilously close to effectively saying that other things have no statute of limitations. As one literary character observed "The law requires justice, but most people are only interested in revenge." What if the two aren't always the same thing?

I wonder about this, too... I was horrified, as a child, when I watched the Nuremburg trials (alone) and my dearest friend is Jewish, but this sounds more like an obsession, than a sincere quest for justice. Justice is not revenge! No one has the right to seek revenge and if they think that they do, they're only going to hurt themselves. It takes one hell of a man, to "turn the other cheek." Anyone, even a scumbag wants to "get back" at someone. But, but, but, look how bad they were? Doesn't mean squat! Unless someone is willing to "turn the other cheek," this kind of stuff goes on and on and on... Why do you think that the Middle East has so many problems? If you want to whitewash revenge and call it justice, then you've institutionalized this sort of "eye-for-an-eye" mentality. I have no use for this kind of "justice." It does not bring peace, nor happiness.

And what exactly do they plan to do with a 94 year old man? Capturing the man will bring no relief to any of the families of his victims. If they haven't come to grips with what happened 60 some years ago they probably need to be in therapy. I thought the Nazi hunters were a thing of the past? We should not forget the Holocaust nor should we drag it around like a dead horse. It is time to move on.

Perhaps jail him for his crimes? Or are you one of the people who figures if you get away with something for long enough, regardless of how horrific it is, then you should just be allowed to run free? Perhaps if your relatives were used to make soap, ashtrays and lampshades, you'd feel a little differently.
Nazi hunters aren't working for any government, do they tell you what to do with your life? Or do you have some vested interest in stopping them?

Hoo boy. I'm giving Psycho a rare positive. But not the first. Yes, if guilty, he must be brought to justice. The Nazis committed the most heinous crimes of the 20th Century. Even Stalin wasn't as bad as them, although he was damn close.
So what if the guy is 94. If he is guilty, he should have his neck stretched now just as he would have in the years immediately following WWII. If he is caught in the U.S., send him to Israel and let them deal with it.

Psycho, I agree that it's never too late for justice, but I do want to comment on one small part of your post: "Perhaps if your relatives were used to make soap, ashtrays and lampshades..." For the sake of accuracy, the stories of the Nazis making soap out of their victims were ultimately nothing more than wartime atrocity rumors. The lampshade story is similarly questionable (even though there is some indication that there may have been one or two cases of gruesome artifacts being made from human skin, it was certainly not common).
The Nazis' real crimes are enough to condemn them, without any exaggerations. The only reason I mention this is that Holocaust deniers are quick to pounce on the disproved rumors of the soap & lampshades and then jump to the conclusion that the Nazi genocide was itself a myth.

I think the MAIN thing about this is the publicity. Anyone who was involved in the atrocities - and is still alive - SHOULD at the very least live in constant fear that they will be discovered. Whether or not they ever ARE, or what happens to them then is nearly irrelevant. Make them FEAR every day of their pathetic lives. Just as they made others live in fear.
Mind you, I'm not Jewish and I don't particularly give 2 hoots about Israel, but many of the Nazi war criminals were so heinous as to be sub-human. Whatever punishment CAN be doled out to them is insufficient.

Perhaps they will find him at the White House working as a consultant to the bush administration? I bet he can show them some nifty ways to get info from prisoners in Gitmo.

Give it up. Historically, Muslims have killed more people in the name of God than can be counted. Let's forget history, today thousands are being killed in Darfur, Somolia and a dozen other places by Muslim militias. Muslim Suicide bombers have taken more lives in Pakistan, Kabul, Iraq and several other places. Non Muslims and women have been degraded to less than second class citizens and Islamic law has separate punishments for men and women. 600,000 Jews were forced from Muslim countries between 1948 and 1953 without ever being compensated for businesses or homes. From 1916 to 1947 (the year Jordan gained it's independence) the entire middle east was a Muslim land grab. You seem to focus in on Israel, and tend to neglect the fact that the Palestinians were robbed of 2/3 of their land by the Saudi Royal Family when Jordan was created in 1922. The largest Palestinian refugee camp is in Jordan which was Palestine. Learn your history before you slander anybody else.

"Give it up. Historically, Muslims have killed more people in the name of God than can be counted."
Christians, too. If you're going to claim to be historically accurate. You should probably mention the number of Palestinians dead for every Israeli, too. If you're going to claim to be historically accurate. And if you want to be accurate, you should probably mention all the homes and land stolen from the Palestinians by the Israeli government.
But hey. It's apparent that's not really what you're after.

Ah, Edmar the supporter of zionist mass ethnic cleansing of millions of christians and moslems trying to browbeat americans again! Why don't you move to your country of primary loyalty and leave we americans alone.
Turning the Tables on the Israel-Firsters
Politics â;; American Israel-firsters have long since dropped any pretense of loyalty to the US. They have moved brazenly into the Israel first, last, and always camp. Americans must now begin taking their country back. As long as the Israel-firsters can define the limits of acceptable public discourse, Americans are on their way to the slaughter.

This administration has made attempts to raid the National Archives.
The White House lawyer, Addington, attempted to remove the position that oversees the archives. These attempts are viewed as covering up the truth.

94? Death might be a mercy.
Was this a-hole part of Operation Paperclip? Seems like the type that our intelligence community would be fond of.

I can certainly can understand revenge. But you have to question the quality of life for someone who has spent most of his hunting Dr. Death and his like down.
Still I commend his actions, what would the world be like if someone did not dedicate his life to his work, whatever it is?
