Visiting Cambodia, This is to express all sympathy with the protest by Mr. Serge

Thion (Phnom Penh Post August 27-September 9) against some selective and hypocritical

condemnations overseas of mass-murder in Indo-china. Mass-murder in Indo-china took

place over a period longer than 10 years and by hands not always Asian-cruelly overland,

treacherously underground, cowardly from the air.

Editor's note:

Mr Marino's letter appeared in last months's edition of the Phnom Penh Post but due

to a printing error didn't make an awful lot of sense. We hope the corrected version

will clarify any confusion it may have caused and we deeply apologise to the author

for the error.
