Editors:
The omission of several words from my letter (Oct. 8-21) radically changed the
original meaning. It should read: "Brown's snide question 'Why are there such
low [Khmer] casualties?' echoes UNTAC's repeated scorn and criticism of Khmer soldiers.
It was Khmer soldiers, of course, rather than UNTAC's kevlar-helmeted, flak-jacketed,
bunkered-in, and hunkered-down self-preservationists, who primarily protected the
May election."
