who employs me
I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

Kevin Sites, Yahoo! News' roving multimedia conflict reporter (his site is branded as Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone), has recently spent some time in Cambodia (which ties in nicely with this post). Here are some entries to check out:

The Killing Field - A visit to Choeung Ek, where the Khmer Rouge tried to dispose of 17,000 of its victims.

Portraits of Pain - A visit to S-21 prison, also known as Tuol Sleng, where "enemies" of the Khmer Rouge were tortured until they confessed their "crimes."

Speaking of KR butchers, former commander Ta Mok is in a coma, the Beeb reported Saturday.

While justice delayed is justice denied, judges for the trials of former KR leaders have been sworn in.
