Post-war CIA cover up of Nazi war crimes

Haaretz reports that the post-war CIA helped Germany cover up Nazi war crimes in order to protect some German officials:

The United States was aware that West Germany held information on the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann in the 1950s, but chose to keep the matter secret, fearing that the arrest of the Nazi fugitive might lead to embarrassing revelations about links between senior German officials and other Nazis.

This information, as well as the pressure that West Germany applied on the Central Intelligence Agency in order to prevent the leak of this sensitive information, is detailed in hundreds of newly declassified documents released by the U.S. government Tuesday.

This might seem like bigger news if it weren't clear we're doing worse stuff today. [For the sake of clarity, no we're probably not doing worse stuff than the Nazis did. We're doing were stuff than covering up Nazi war crimes after-the-fact.]
