Japanese Deniers

What a load of crap.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said there is "no evidence'' Japan's military forced women into prostitution during its occupation of Asia in World War II.

"It is a fact that there was no evidence to support that there was coercion as it was defined at the time,'' Abe told reporters late yesterday in Tokyo. "We must take into account there have been great changes in definitions.''

The statement indicates Abe's administration may repeal a 1993 government study that the military, both directly and indirectly, forced women in occupied areas to serve in brothels as "comfort women.'' The majority came from Korea, which Japan occupied from 1910 to 1945, and China.

Right, it's about the definition of coercion. Or maybe it's a change in the definition of "comfort women." Or is it the change in definition of scum bag.

Maybe the US should change the definition of Nuclear bomb and start denying that the nuclear events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki ever occurred.

Nice one.

"definition at the time"

Well, with this, there was no Holocaust, there was no slavery, hell, we can redefine just about anything bad as being just fine because we'll use the "definition at the time"
