Indeed. I just hope they manage to fry these scumbags although I can't help feeling anything they manage to do will be almost too little too late.

x2 on the too little too late sentiment.
Nevertheless, Hang 'em high.

At this point, it's mostly symbolic.

fixed it for you.

The leadership must be about 80 by now; those that are still alive. This is similar to prosecuting nazis 40 years after the fact.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Neither should evil deeds.

The defendants are Ieng Sary, 84, who was foreign minister; his wife, Ieng Thirith, 78, who was minister of social welfare; Khieu Samphan, 78, who was head of state; and Nuon Chea, 84, known as Brother No 2. The top leader, Pol Pot, died in 1998.

Great, we have 4 old men who probably can't remember squat. So we have "Victor's Justice". Great symbolic gesture but essentially meaningless. As a deterrent, justice has to be swift, certain and fair. We got the certain part since this is a rigged trial. Not really fair since they only have 1 life each to give. Swift? Well, hardly.

Well since they only gave up fighting in 2008 it is not bad.
I think they should not be killed. They should be sent to the killing fields to dig up and give a proper burial to all the people they destroyed.

They should have to live in the same conditions the prisoners had to live in and work 20 hours a day to rebury their victims... In 200 years they might get it done.

then one stoops to their level, no?

more importantly, this trial still ignores the foreign powers who aided - directly and indirectly - the rise of the khmer rouge. so, yes, it's just a bunch of blarney.

i am not following you. i was responding to

a) your lust for vengeance
b) the real story behind the khmer rouge's rise to power being ignored in favor of a "show trial" - the exact sort of trial that the khmer rouge gave to their captives before dispatching them.

What differance will these convictions make.....Tonkovich is keyed in to the real deal...but what he has to say wont make a lot of Americans feel very good about their Government....thats if they believe it to be true..many Americans cant handle the truth..or refuse to believe it~

What's to believe? That govts all over will say much, believe in few and do even fewer? All govts do that. Nothing new there.
