Pat Buchanan will be making a tearful plea for clemency in this case on cable TV tonight.

[SJackson]

Well there are only so many years to keep up this gig. You would think it would not be wise to tip off your suspect.

The gig, education? I think the Weisenthal Center will keep that up for awhile. As to tipping off "your suspect", there is no identified suspect, only a region near a family member where he's thought to be living. Thus the need for further information.

[paddles]

Seems to me these guys are going to be out of business very soon. I wonder what they’ll do when there’s no more Nazis left?

[NY Attitude]

Wasn't that the name they placed on Josef Mengula sp?

[SJackson]

Well there are only so many years to keep up this gig. You would think it would not be wise to tip off your suspect.

The gig, education? I think the Weisenthal Center will keep that up for awhile. Catching barbarians like the doctor, I suppose that gig will end soon. As to tipping off "your suspect", there is no identified suspect, only a region near a family member where he's thought to be living. Thus the need for further information.

[Always Right]

The suspect would know who he is, so if they point out a region they think he might be in, it would give him the opportunity to hide or move. At least in my view. Of course if the guy is so old and does not even care about running, this could help track him down.

“Heim, who would be 94 if he’s still alive...”

Good Lord, it’s been 65 years. Let’s move on down the road. There are plenty of active monsters we should be hunting down, like Mugabe and H. Chavez.

Besides, the Lord will mete out eternal justice on this man, and there’s nowhere he can run from that.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

You would not say that if your family members were murdered by this man.Go after all of them.

[steel_resolve]

not me. Just shoot him.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Why would Efraim Zuroff be talking about fresh hot tips on fugitives in the press, as that would tip off any target they were hunting for?

Maybe he's hoping a private citizen will find him and torture him before killing him. Then there will be no worries about prisoners rights, blah blah.

[null and void]

Yes. Only a guilty 94 YO would even consider bolting.

Suppose you had a guy you thought was him (same age, general description, similar facial bone structure, German accent, etc.)

Leak the information that you've got a solid lead on the war criminal, and if he twitches, he's worth a closer look.

This guy:

CA: Body found in Oakland Hills is Nina Reiser

Tipped his hand when a fellow inmate noticed that he rushed to the TV when a report of a body being discovered in the Oakland Hills came on. The inmate thought it was distinctly odd that he was so visibly relieved when they identified the body as that of a black male...

[ariamne]

Well, maybe you would feel differently if it was one of your relatives who had his kidney and testicles cut off and then got decapitated. Sorry, in my worldview there is always time to hunt down one more monster in human form.

[ariamne]

Maybe they will start hunting down islamist nazi clones. That would be good for a start.

[PzLdr]

Mengele was called the “Angel of Death”.

[sofaman]

I’m pleased to hear that. I was pretty taken aback, previously, when the comment was made and seconded.

[null and void]

[sofaman]

Doubt it all you want. It happened.

[NY Attitude]

Thanks for the clarification.

[Alouette]

Instead of treating the prisoner's foot, Heim placed him under anesthesia, cut him open, took apart one kidney, removed the second and castrated him.

And how many others did he repeat the experiment, without anesthesia?

[SJackson]

The suspect would know who he is, so if they point out a region they think he might be in, it would give him the opportunity to hide or move. At least in my view. Of course if the guy is so old and does not even care about running, this could help track him down.

It's a tactical decision. You're, the suspect is being warned, which presents the risk of flight. Eichmans presence wouldn't have been "announced". On the other hand, they don't know where he is or his identity, publicity helps in that regard, and once a couple investigators arrive in a remote area in Chile, he'll be warned anyway. Hope they get him, I just don't have the information or knowledge to criticize their tactics one way or another, other than I don't think fund raising is a consideration.
