Just to let you know, tu quoque is not a legal defense in war crimes trials. A person is tried for the acts he did, not his enemies'.

Up to a point. When the accusers and "witnesses" are shown to be guilty of much greater crimes, if they are granted respect and immunity, then tribunal CONVICTS itself as being a show trial or kangaroo court. Maybe not in the eyes of the law but in the eyes of all honest people and in the eyes of God.

I am curious, what is your view of Moscow show trials of 1930s?
