Survivors of the regime’s reign of terror hailed the decision to increase the original jail term of 30 years handed in 2010 to Kaing Guek Eav. The the commander of Tuol Sleng prison, where at least 15,000 men, women and children deemed enemies of the regime were tortured and then executed in "killing fields" outside Phnom Penh. The (victorious Cambodia communist) regime attempted to create an ideal society by forcing city residents to work as peasants in the countryside, purging intellectuals, middle class people and any supposed enemies of the state... about one-third of the population, are believed to have been killed or died of over-work and starvation.

Lotsa folks, including rab, have long enjoyed ripping snotty little Jane for being snotty little Jane. Subsequent, and of vastly greater human impact: a majority of the US congress engineered a cut and run. Holocaust blossomed anew.

The wheels of true justice grind solely indeed, but hell will forever stir a special pot for the cowards of congress, Duch and a few deserving others.

The truth is if good will not do it to evil then evil will do it to good.

I’m not certain any of us will live long enough to ever see justice served.

I’m not sure justice is even a priority in the USA anymore.

Ok, it took 35+ years to bring old Kaing Guek Eav to justice. Sad thing is Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, et al, don’t likely have another 35 years in them...

There’s witch-wicked, and then there’s Nancy Pelosi wicked.

They should have just killed him in a field, but like a lot of these states emerged from chaos, they don’t do the death penalty. That’s their choice. But it always leaves open the possibility of another coup that brings the wretch back to the limelight.

I would not count on that for Duch. God may surprise you. (Duch converted to Christianity and, by the way, admitted to his guilt.) His sins are already forgiven.

Only 12 people survived the tender mercies of that murdering commie pig Kaing Guek Eav at the Tuol Sleng prison.

Life in prison is a joke. Lock that pig in a warehouse with the relatives of those he murdered. Come back in an hour to see if anything is left.
