[span style="font-weight: normal;"]Especially sad to me, as my fiance is Cambodian. [/span](//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)
[p style="font-weight: bold;"] Photos from Pol Pot's Secret Prison.[/p]From the website:[/p] [blockquote][em]The 114 photographs on this site are from Pol Pot's secret prison, codenamed "S-21" during his genocidal rule (1975-79). Between 1-2 million Cambodians (and many thousands of foreigners) were starved to death, were tortured, or killed, during his brutal reign of terror.[/em][/p][em](//image/photo-pol-pot-secret-prison.jpg)
[/em][/p] [em]When the Vietnamese invaded in 1979 the S-21 prison staff fled, leaving thousands of written and photographic records. Altogether more than 6,000 photographs were left; the majority have been lost or destroyed. [/em][/p] [/blockquote] [a href="vny!://www.tuolsleng.com/"]Link[/a]

Mankind is capable of infinite cruelties.  These things are so very sad.  I don't think I'll ever understand why they can and do occur.
