"Instead, they have brought an action under a rarely invoked law that makes it a punishable offence to try to justify war crimes."

How are we to further define what is or isn't a war crime if we allow the human rights thought police to define the discussion of war crimes itself as a crime?

This sounds like Human Rights advocates are trashing the civil rights of an individual to further their cause.

I hate the idea of letting a war criminal get away with his crimes, but I hate the idea of a show trial being used to silence, distort, and re-write history even more.

Punishing this one individual will do little to further human rights. In fact it will have the opposite effect: It will silence others who might come forward and openly discuss what may or may not be human rights abuses of the past. How can we learn form the past if we pass laws that encourage us to hide it.
