Plenty of Nazi scientists and war criminals were given amnesty in the US after the war in exchange for their knowledge.

Let me remind you that ALL the Allies war criminals were also basically given amnesty everywhere, just because they were victors.

if you think that's fair, well that's your call.

I wasn't justifying it.

I don't think it was right.

You're alluding to the atomic bombings? Sorry, honestly not familiar with this argument.

Torture, rape, mass executions of civilians and prisoners of war, the usual.

The atomic bombings are the most prominent examples, but there were also the horrible. 'conventional' bombings of German cities like Dresden.

And fire bombing of most of Japan, knowing very well that they would torch hundred of thousands of civilians including women and children.

And the ongoing killing of prisoners who surrendered (a US army speciality in the Pacific, no prisoners, just kill them all)

We would be ok with granting amnesty to lower level FARC scientists, but the Hitlers, Eichmanns, Goebbelses, Goerings, Heydrichs, Himmlers, Hoesses and Mengeles of the FARC must see some jail time.
