62 years later and it's still not over.

Suspected Nazi War Criminal Found In Metro Atlanta

"LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Nazi hunters have tracked a suspected World War II concentration camp guard to Lawrenceville.

Members of the Justice Department's elite Nazi tracking force said Paul Henss, 85, served as a prison guard and attack dog handler at the notorious Dachau and Buchenwald Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany.

The Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have asked an immigration judge in Atlanta to deport Henss."

Is there really any point though anymore beyond a minor moral victory? How much time, money, and effort are they going to spend on deporting and convicting someone who's 85 years old and will most likely be dead soon anyway? So far it's cost over $100 million dollars to catch less than 100 former death camp guards. While their mandate was changed in '04 to include modern human rights abusers, it sure doesn't look like they've done anything along those lines.
