| Some of these works are important background reading as Cambodia finally moves toward the endgame in bringing to justice the surviving Khmer Rouge leaders. When terrorists assaulted America on 9/11, killing nearly 3,000 innocent civilians, President Bush responded, not by focusing on bringing to justice the criminals who were responsible, but by initiating a war against impoverished, defenseless Afghanistan, a broad attack that killed at least 3,000 innocent people. McKillop, 40, was credited with leading a team of 15 investigators in bringing to justice the self-proclaimed ``Angel of Death,'' Efren Saldivar, a former respiratory therapist who worked at Glendale Adventist Hospital. |
