Why are these people not tried by the International War Crimes Tribunal?  Because there would be no conviction.
Additional information on both Sol Littman and Simon Wiesenthal (because Sol Littman is director of the Canadian Simon Wiesenthal Center) is available on the Ukrainian Archive.

In the case of Simon Wiesenthal, the reader will find an introduction to him within The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes � once in that article, click on SIMON WIESENTHAL in the yellow CONTENTS box.  For more information beyond that introduction, the reader can consult the Simon Wiesenthal page on the Ukrainian Archive.

In the case of Sol Littman, the reader will find him discussed toward the bottom of the same SIMON WIESENTHAL section within The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes already cited in the preceding paragraph, particularly within a subsection titled "Sol Littman's Mengele Affair."  One way to get to that subsection is to click on The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes, and once within that document, to hit CTRL+F on one's keyboard, and then search for "Mengele Affair" (don't type in the quotation marks).  Or, NetScape browsers will take the reader directly to Sol Littman's Mengele Affair when the link in the present sentence is clicked, though Microsoft's Internet Explorer will manage only to take the reader to the top of The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes, from whence the reader will have to make his way down to "Sol Littman's Mengele Affair" by other means.  Incidentally, starting at the top of The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes and repeatedly employing CTRL+F to search for "Littman" will take the reader to the several locations at which he is mentioned, where is provided some indication both of the frequency and of the quality of Sol Littman's contributions to the debate concerning war criminals.

Another insight into Sol Littman can be found in a letter to him from Neal Sher from which arises the hypothesis that the two live within a subculture in which lies circulate freely, such that if we hear any member of that subculture � for example Sol Littman � say something untrue, we cannot know whether he is lying or whether he has merely been lied to by some other member of that subculture.

Still more insight into Sol Littman can be found in the letters to the editor of The Toronto Star written by Walter Halchuk, Christopher Moorehead, Lubomyr Prytulak, and Matthias Schlaepfer.

Since the above was written, considerable evidence concerning Sol Littman has been added to the Ukrainian Archive, and can be accessed on the Sol Littman page.

 LETTERS

Vengeance not justice
behind accusations

Re Do our jurists need Holocaust classes? by Sol Littman (Oct. 20).  Littman states that, "The United States has rescinded the citizenship of some 60 war criminals in the past 20 years."

What he doesn't tell you is that they were not found guilty of war crimes.

Their denaturalization had nothing to do with war crimes.

They were stripped of their citizenship for allegedly not disclosing their activities during World War II.

If they were guilty of war crimes, they would have been tried in criminal court.

Why are these people not tried by the International War Crimes Tribunal?  Because there would be no conviction.

But Littman and his ilk maintain that if they say someone is a war criminal, then we must believe he is a war criminal.

This is not justice, this is vengeance.

Littman undermines the intent of those who would like to rid our country of the real bad guys � the ones who pulled the trigger, or gave the orders to pull the triggers.

Let's not stoop so low that we are deporting our own citizens because radicals like Littman proclaim them guilty by association.
