LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – NBC News has scheduled its controversial to-catch-a-terrorist investigative program, in which an elite team hunts war criminals.
"The Wanted" will premiere Monday, July 20, at 10 p.m. with specialists in counterterrorism, foreign intelligence, war crimes and investigative journalism profiling suspected international terrorists.
"We hope this program sheds light on an overlooked story," said David Corvo, executive producer at NBC News. "It is surprising how many people with serious accusations against them are living openly and avoiding any sort of judicial process."
The project drew criticism when it was first made public in February, with government officials saying the effort could interfere with ongoing criminal investigations, and human rights advocates concerned about the program making false accusations. Lingering distaste from the news division's similarly law-enforcement-trumping "To Catch a Predator" segments on "Dateline," which went after accused sex crimes perpetrators, has also led to worries about the new program.

“too good”
This is NBC, right? I have an idea how this will end. They catch the war criminal then set them free in the end because terrorists are “victims” and “actually nice people”.
I hope they will be sure to read them their Miranda rights and not speak harshly to them. Are they allowed to use the word “terrorist”?

Oh great.
NBC will be harassing every German immigrant and naturalized citizen whose over 80.
I'd suggest they go after some KNOWN Jap War Criminals(1) but that would be racist and very un-pc.
The Feds cut known Jap War Criminals a deal after WWII because of the Ruskies. Their (cough) 'War Crime Trials' were a fricken JOKE!)
