    Dith Pran was an heroic human spirit. We were all enriched by his presence.

      The movie "the Killing Fields" was very moving for me. I couldn't believe what happened in that country.

        The man was hero and will be mourned. His story is an inspiration to all who love freedom and desires to expose the truth.

          I never saw the movie but I read a biographical book called "To Destroy You is No Loss" about a young girl who lived through it. Anyone who escaped that H*ll hole during that time was amazing!"

          In my opinion that book should be required reading in schools today.

          Dith Pran was a hero the world should honor for his courage. I pray his soul is abiding in heaven this day.

            It is one thing to read about or hear of 2 million deaths. It is quite another to see the depiction of it. The movie of Dith Pran (The Killing Fields) was a moving and emotionally wrenching experience. For him to survive that horror and speak out against it makes him a true American hero.

            Ironically the actor who portrayed him in the movie, Haing Ngor (who was a Cambodian doctor) was also robbed close to his apartment; but he was killed during the robbery.

              Who the HELL cares. The Abu Ghraib and Gitmo demonstrates that USA is no better than Khemer Rogue.
