"San Jose Mercury News" quotes Director of Stanford's Center on Ethics and professor Deborah L. Rhode

"Any time you're putting on trial someone who's lived a relatively decent life for acts committed a half-century ago, it's obviously troubling,'' said Deborah L. Rhode, a law professor at Stanford University and founding director of Stanford's Center on Ethics.

"It would be equally troubling to allow someone entirely to evade accountability for involvement in atrocities.''
