Pran battling cancer

[sigma7]

Dith Pran, who survived torture under the genocidal Khmer Rouge after helping The New York Times’s Cambodia correspondent for three years, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January. He was hospitalized for three weeks starting in mid-February, and was released to the Roosevelt Care Center in Edison, NJ, on Friday.

Either this hits you like a solid blow or it doesn't; either you've seen The Killing Fields or you haven't. (This news, incidentally, comes via Steve Wolgast, design genius and all-around nice guy.)

On a thematically related note, Bush vetoes waterboarding ban. I am literally sickened.
