Given that the "mint-on-the-pillow" Democrats constantly insist that failure to include that amenity constitutes a war crime at Guantanamo Bay, let's take a look at a book that examines real war crimes.

The perpetrators of some of the worst atrocities of the Second World War remain alive and unpunished in Japan, according to a damning new book.

Painstaking research by British historian Mark Felton reveals that the wartime behaviour of the Japanese Navy was far worse than their counterparts in Hitler's Kriegsmarine.

According to Felton, officers of the Imperial Japanese Navy ordered the deliberately sadistic murders of more than 20,000 Allied seamen and countless civilians in cold-blooded defiance of the Geneva Convention.

One favored tactic? Beheading prisoners. Sound like anyone we know today? That would be the so-called "freedom fighters" that Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan say are the moral equivalent of America's founding fathers.
