Big Sky Cairn

I managed to catch this little blurb on CNN today. Being CNN, Chistiane Amanpour of course takes the opportunity to take a jab at the Bush administration, nothing new really. What got me was how Amanpour manages to put an internal 2003 Justice Department memo on roughly the same level as the genocidal killings of 2 million people in Cambodia. Stunning for its lack of perspective, but does anyone expect anything different from the Communist News Network?

Finally, the subject of the best known account of what happened in Cambodia, Dith Pran, passed away last month. His story is an amazing account of what happened when the United States left SE Asia thirty-five years ago and serve as a warning for contemporary situations in Iraq.
