The people who committed those atrocities were spared any sort of punishment and the victims denied justice. The reasoning was pragmatic of course, the knowledge was invaluable, the experiments had already occured. Destroying the data would have been pointless and ultimately those people and their suffering would have been for nothing.
Still, a disturbing footnote in history. It's almost hard to believe the cataclysmic levels of death and destruction that occurred in a scant decade of warfare. We were in Afghanistan for 20 years and didn't even rack up what we saw happen in single operations during the war, hell even Korea and Vietnam.
