Re: Mens rea
Good job in trying to obfuscate the matter Alan Dershowitz wannabe. Despite the fact that it is stupid to bring up current Canadian law in this matter, forcible confinement cannot apply to a state excercising its legal authority to confine those it deems appropriate. If this were the case, every criminal in a prison who dies of whatever cause is murdered in the first degree. That is patently stupid.
Your application of the Canadian Criminal Code has absolutely no binding power on any nation outside of Canada anyway, and we must look at the legal standards of the time to determine the degree of intent and wrongdoing of the Holocaust crimes.
Your point on harrasment is also stupid. If I dress up like a ghost and say "boo, you're gonna die" and three days later you die of a heart attack, I guess that makes me a murderer too according to your less than stellar legal opinion.
