They had better be very careful of how they go about it. They could be opening themselves up to a lot of law suits.

The network's plan has attracted some criticism from U.S. officials and human rights experts, who are concerned that the network's journalists might be publicizing false accusations against the suspects they're "confronting" on the air. (The show sounds eerily similar to the network's <STRONG>To Catch a Predator</STRONG> series, which purported to bust sexual predators.)</DIV>
The first suspect is apparently Leopold Munyakazi, a visiting professor at a Maryland college who has been accused by Rwandan authorities of participating in the 1994 genocide in that country; a Human Rights Watch official is quoted in the article saying that the case against Munyakazi is actually somewhat murky.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.fair.org/blog/2009/02/12/nbc-and-the-hunt-for-war-criminals/"><P>If <STRONG>NBC</STRONG> is actually interesting in exposing war crimes, though, there might be an easier way to do this.
