...humanity rather than the State. Although the Nazi defendants pleaded "state orders," 19 were convicted and ten were hanged. To skeptics, Nurnberg proved mainly that losing a war had become a crime under international law. Nevertheless, the supremacy of civilized rules of behavior was enunciated in a U.N. report: "The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his government or a superior does not relieve him of responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible...

And the New York Times, which got wind of the story around Nov 7, had its own report for Nov. 13. Both lacked the detail of Hersh's piece. Hersh had quotes from Calley ("I know this sounds funny, but I like the Army . . . and I don't want to do anything to hurt it") and from another soldier who had taken part in the attack...
