Nothing but a textbook example of Victor's Justice. Had the Japanese won, those trials would have taken place (well, executions at least, perhaps not trials).

Yeah, this was kind of my point about Manning, namely that justice is rather arbitrary and is transparently hypocritical at best. Nothing seriously bad happened to the people in the Collateral Murder video, for instance.

Quite right, and there is no shortage of more modern examples of it too.
