Seymour Hersh
After World War Two the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal declared:”Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience…and have the duty to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.” The defense of “I was just following orders” was judged to be legally unsupportable and morally reprehensible.

Lebanon & the Crisis in Middle East
