2. Whose orders?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. I don't recall that line or character from "The Nuremberg Trials"

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. The Nurenbourg Trials..."I was just following orders."

When Nazi upper echelon leaders were put on trial for the torture, murder of millions of Jews in the death camps.

Horrible comparisons, but true.

8. No it isn't the same thing. If it involved violence against the news crew, the

comparison would be somewhat valid. In this case, from the reporters themselves, they said the exchange was civil. What is needed is to find who did give that order

[gratuitous]

11. This time the exchange was civil and non-violent

But the message being sent to the media was not.

12. +1, I was thinking the same thing.. The Nuremberg reply...

Or like Sgt Shultz.......
