A secret list of hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals welcomed by Canada after the Second World War, drawn up 40 years ago, should remain secret, the information watchdog ruled Friday.

The list of more than 700 suspected Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada has remained unpublished since it was drawn up as part of an official inquiry in 1986.

If Canada isn't charging them with a crime, then releasing their names is just starting a witch hunt, and government sanctioned witch hunts are a bad idea.

They should be charged, and if found guilty, named and deported or jailed, though I think at this point they're all likely dead. They may have relatives that are still alive, and there's no reason to get them involved.

Protecting relatives from unwarrented assaults or harassment is the only reasonable logic behind keeping it a secret.
