fyi-
Greeting, I hope everyone get a chance to fully read and absorb Mr. Israel Shamir's article, "Pol Pot Revisited." Well, I promised Mr. Shamir, in writing earlier, fame and well known for his "journalistic" work. He is now "infamous" and thus I sort of have failed him. Apology. Kilong and many, many others already PUKED, several times, already. And Mr. Shamir is now well known, as promised. Several of us have already done a cursory background investigation into Mr. Shamir and his work. The verdict thus far: "FAKE." DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, lend him anymore more creditability or afford him the respect than he deserved. Case close. At the same token, DV and its editorial staff needs to stop disseminate "GARBAGE" as journalism or whatever it is called. Its rating, like Mr. Shamir, is now also "infamous." Its creditability, if any to begin with, is now shot--at least among Khmer "survivors" communities across the US, overseas, and in Cambodia. Case closed. Freedom of speech is not free, remember. With rights comes serious responsibilities. Ronnie -- * * * Ronnie Yimsut NOTE: "Always be yourself because the people that really matter don't mind and the ones that mind don't really matter !"
