I've given up on the idea that "justice will be served" in the normal fashion on this or many similar issues. That is, we're in a war, and one of the things that breaks down during a war is the orderly administration of civil law. That is, the very concept of "martial law" exists only because civil law is suspended, is unenforceable, or otherwise fails to be enforced.
In my view, we've gone beyond "violations of the penal code" or "felonius this-and-that". The offenders would die of old age in the century or more it would take to sort it all out on that basis.
Rather, I think these are more properly seen as war crimes, and no tribunals will be constituted until we have prevailed and hostilities have ceased. That may yet be a while.
