It's sad that no-one's talking about it.

Has anybody been punished for authorising or being a member of the
death squads the British used to execute Irish dissidents in Northern
Ireland? Or participants in the Israeli assassination program who hold
dual citizenship and even have book and speaking tours in the US and
Europe? Or the CIA personnel who acceded to the execution of their
fellow American citizens in Chile? Or the Dutch troops who stood aside
while the Serbs executed at least 7000 Muslims in Bosnia? Or the
European businessmen who supplied both sides in the Congo wars that
have killed something like 2 million people? Etc etc.

I believe that what the US has done is wrong and the purps need to be
put on trial. However, the US doesn't hold a monopoly on extra
judicial proceedings as some in Europe seem to believe nowadays.

General Washington himself established the doctrine in the
Revolutionary Army that, unlike the British and their German
hirelings, the Revolutionary Army would not execute or torture
prisoners. This policy became a significant advantage as word spread
that surrendered Brits and Hessians could become Americans and build a
new life in the new world.
