#1 At the same time he worked for British news agency Reuters and Time magazine. It was a huge surprise to his former colleagues when, in the 1980s, he announced his true allegiance.

No surprise to those of us who have read Time and Rooters reports over the years. Enjoy hell you communist bastard.

#2 After the war ended, Mr An was regarded with suspicion by the communist authorities and was sent to a re-education camp. He was denied permission to visit the US.

Last year he told former journalist colleagues he regarded Vietnam's current leaders as more corrupt than the regime which he had helped to bring down.

Hoped he liked re-education. He certainly worked hard for it.

I don't know about weird, but I certainly hope it's painful.
