I think the morals of the case are further obscured by the fact that in Germany during WWII what Dr Goebbels did wasn't against the law there. I mean the rest of the world I'm sure found it so, but when the person doing the perceived criminal activity is part of the government of that country it's hard to say how the son of sam law would apply. Granted what the Nazi's as a whole did was horrifying the Son of Sam wasn't doing things that the government approved of like Dr. Goebbels was either. Nor was he part of the government. The Nazi's actions were found to be criminal after the war, but at the time they were doing them they were the Government in charge. Not that anyone can condone what they did though.
