When "Judgment at Nuremberg" first aired on TV in 1959, one of the show's sponsors, the American Gas Association, made sure the word "gas" was bleeped out of all references to the Nazi death chambers.

But those special international courts can range more broadly than the Scottish one, which despite the oddity of being in the Netherlands had the fundamental task of judging a mass murder that occurred in Lockerbie. The court thus explicitly accepted testimony that al-Megrahi was a member of Libya's intelligence service but left...
