Today marks the 60th Anniversary of the failed attempt by Colonel Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg and others to assassinate Adolph Hitler. Stauffenberg and his cohorts – being honored in Germany – were apprehended, tortured, and executed (R.I.P.) by the Gestapo. Of course, if this was happening today, and if Stauffenberg was an American agent, his plot would be in violation of U.S. law.
