Discussion: Khmer Rouge Tribunal Clears Way For Genocide Trial

Discussion for article #225721

It’s a crime in itself that these SOB’s escape the hangman’s noose for so many years after their crimes.

If ever the death penalty is morally justified it’s with these war criminals and their unspeakable crimes.

I recall reading that their torturer-in-chief was/is a PhD.

20 years too late. Most of the guilty are dead, dying or have melted back into Cambodian society.

Like Chinese youth and Tienanmen Square, cambodian youth don’t understand, believe or care what happened then. This needed to happen no later than 1990 or so.

May I recommend a very personal documentary on the subject?

“The Missing Picture”

Or…

You could use the trials as instruction on their national history.

Two other films about this event

“The Killing Fields” - drama

“Swimming to Cambodia” - performance piece by Spalding Gray
