First they killed my father

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

You did well. Just don't mention the way he is depicted in the film.

Why? Does Al have some issues about The Killing Fields book/movie facts? I'd like to hear what else Al thinks was misrepresented, aside from his very minor portrayal.

How was it, did you shoot the shit with him for a while or just say howdy?

YMMV, it all depends on if you catch him pre-spliff, mid-spliff, or post-spliff ;-)

Jeeze, don't get me started on that expletive-deleted Schanberg either.
Re, Rockoff's personal gripe with him, this old article gives an indication, particularly on its second page:

We had a lovely chat, it was really cool.
Thank you for the heads up. ;)

I hope this isn't considered outing. But Rozz sent me a commemorative pic of her and Al and it's too adorable not to share.
