7. I don't know. I'm always sceptical about whether or not there's justice
here. I mean, how old is the guy? In his 70s. He killed young people and babies. He then ran around and lived a high old life for how long after he put his victims in the ground. I don't mean that he should just be let go, but surely justice means more than taking the old bastard and locking him up for just the last few years of his life? He should be isolated from all humanity. Have all his assets seized, every last one. And that's still not enough.

I understand the 'better late than never' theory, and I guess it applies here. But its like old Pinochet. He lived the high life for decades after his crimes. Now the extradite an old man and 'convict' him of crimes against his people.

(Then there's the ultiimate ghoul, Henry Kissinger, who's never had to pay a day in his life.)
