Duch

I clicked on this title on yahoo's homepage.
"Khmer Rouge Torture Chief Weeps at Killing Fields"

It intrigued me. Was it for real? Could someone who had been responsible for so many senseless deaths truly feel remorse now?

While reading, I discovered this little tidbit.
"Detained in 1999 and now a Christian.."

And I thought, whoa!! Now a Christian?!?

So I did a brief bit more research and discovered that yes he's now a Christian.

Sort of like our own modern day Paul. I'm embarrassed I didn't know about this before.

What do you think?

This is crazy. I don't know much about that part of the world/history, but I know it was really bad. How do you sentence a criminal who has repented?...

Here's a post I did awhile back since I'm lazy (and I just got my computer back!) Thanks for the tag, you're up next time I do a meme.

Congrats on getting the computer back!
