Robert Jackson, Chief Prosecutor (and Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court) might not think so:
Those last are words you will NEVER hear spoken by the vile, fascist motherfuckers in the Bushevik regime. Can you say 'Torture', Prof. Yoo, you reeking, hypocritical piece of shit?“We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy.”
“If certain acts of violation of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them, and we are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us.” - Nuremberg Tribunal
