#1 AFTER claiming to feel great remorse for his part in Khmer Rouge atrocities, the defendant in Cambodia's first genocide trial on Friday surprised the court with a last-minute plea for his freedom, saying he should not have been prosecuted and has already spent ten years in jail.

How much time should be spent in jail for taking part in ending a person's life? Apparently this guy thinks about an hour is OK.

One of the most haunting images I have seen is a photograph of a young Cambodian woman who is being "processed" by the Khmer Rouge before going into one of their camps, probably to be executed. The photo was a simple above-the-waist shot of a distraught woman. What was so shocking was the child's hands barely visible at the bottom of the picture, holding onto her, probably for assurance.

If he was truly sorry, he would have killed himself long ago.

I don't know why the world puts up with these people for longer than it took one of the Khmer Rouge's goons like Duch to put a bullet in the back of a baby's head.

The only lightening his punshment might deserve is a death that is not quite so slow and agonizing as it should be.
