I am right noe in Cambodia and have been to S-21. It is completely unbeliveble that anyone, ever so red, could be that blindfolded not to see what was a big fake when they visited Cambodia 1978.
The excuse and the explanation how he thought today was vera lame in my eyes. I was ashamed to be a Swede at this time!
