Isn't there a judge in Japan who will give prison time? If not, why do they even have judges? How about we save taxpayers money by just spinning a big wheel that has different suspended sentences on it.

Former Public Security Intelligence Agency Director General Shigetake Ogata ...there could be no other sentence for such a high-ranking official in a country where the "good old boy" network is in control. Besides, at 75 he doesn't have much time left to enjoy the money, he'll need it for old…

It is regrettable, in any war on either side, that innocents suffer. I can't begin to imagine the horrors that the Japanese civilians endured. I have no sympathy for the military though.

I have a lot of respect for the Royal Family. Having said that, may I ask why they never go to Pearl Harbor? Is it out of respect for the father? I just want to understand. Is it national pride?

I'll bet it was a female classmate who wanted to get revenge for something, like a stolen boyfriend, etc.

Who the hell leaves two infants alone for seven hours? What about feeding and diaper changes. "They were sleeping and I didn't want to wake them" is a bullshit answer. The parents were probably drunk and didn't wake up in time.

Don't tell me this obasan will get on the witness stand and testify that "I swear that's the guy from 20 years ago. I remember it clearly." The defense team will eat her alive.
