France2.com reports, March 31, 2009 in "Douch Demande Pardon" that thirty-four years after the initiation a program of horrrible acts of torture, former infamous head of information of the Khymer Rouge Regime, in Cambodia, and director of the prison at Tuol Sleng, Mssr. Guek Eav, aged 66 years, known to his victims as “Douch” stood before a tribunal in late March 2009 to beg for mercy after admitting his part in the atrocities committed against Cambodians in the years 1975-1979.

This story underscores the fact that the wheels of justice do indeed move with glacial speed, (four decades is a long time) but thankfully they grind exceedingly fine! Douch is expected to be confined to prison for the rest of his life.

For our own home grown variety of torturers and advocates for the procedure, prospects for justice-enacted are less sanguine. If we here in the USA proceed at the rate of speed the Cambodian justice system, given their present age, Cheney and Bush will have long faced the disgust and punishment of their maker before their crimes could be judged by their peers.

But the younger Bush-Cheney co-conspirators such as John Yoo, Condoleeza Rice, Douglas Feith, Alberto Gonzales and others who advocated for torture and facilitated the Bush torture program ---beware! This piece gives us all hope that their days secure from prosectution are numbered.
