Talk:Kanao Inouye

Untitled
Can someone please capitalize 'Inouye' in the title. My typo and I don't know how to fix it-- I don't know how to use the DISPLAYTITLE magic word correctly if that's the way. Thanks.Joe Photon (talk) 06:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Euryalus for the fix.Joe Photon (talk) 21:59, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I reverted a change made about ten days ago by user 207.188.66.127. His/her change removed the final sentence of the entry, which was to the effect that in 2007, a panel of Canadian historians voted Inouye one of the ten 'Worst Canadians' in history. Can anyone think of a reason why this sentence shouldn't be there? Maybe I'm missing something. Joe Photon (talk) 07:43, 16 January 2009 (UTC) Jordan-- I was the one who said Inouye was the only Canadian to have faced prosecution for war crimes. I think this is justified, because War Crimes has a more narrow definition. Harold Pringle was a criminal, and a murderer, and a black marketeer during wartime. However, he would not be considered a war criminal.Joe Photon (talk) 04:42, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This article states that he is the only Canadian in history to have faced prosecution for war crimes, What about Harold_Pringle? Jordan Lui (talk) 07:35, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Inouye was indeed a Canadian traitor, but he was not tried in Canada, by Canada or under Canadian law. He was tried by the British in Hong Kong under the Treason Act of 1351. The British had jurisdiction to try him not only because he was a British subject (though he claimed not to be), but also because he had mistreated British as well as Canadian prisoners of war in the camps where he had served as a guard and interpreter. The Canadian government of the day found it politically convenient to leave Inouye to the British, perhaps fearing that if tried in Canada he would seize the opportunity to embarrass the government over its mistreatment of the Japanese Canadians during and immediately after the Second World War.
