And, of course, it should also be ready to comply with its responsibilities by being willing to extradite any US officials charged in Guatemala.

US prosecutors have an obligation to take these steps.

This case involves crimes of the highest magnitude.

US law enforcers who step forward might indeed run some career risk.

But unlike so many Guatemalans so far, they can be pretty sure they'll live.

No one decent would EVER consider making a living from the tragic suffering of others. No one.

Thanks.
