Why is that? My life dream has always been to become the village chief with a wife beater rolled up my beer belly..Miguelito wrote:This is such a bizarre claim of hers:
Second, persons who possess omnaich, a Cambodian concept of social and political power, should exhibit more social possession of their surroundings than their social inferiors. For this reason, the more powerful a person is, the less he or she says. Similarly, someone in a position of relative power is not required to “dress up”. Walking around a village while attired in a sarong or towel is a clear social signal that the person thus clad is in a position of power.
Is Trude Jacobsen a sell out who would take money from a serial rapist of Cambodian children to help him go free?

She seemed to be arguing “Cambodian families shared rooms and beds, and don’t wear a lot of clothes, so what he was doing was totally ok”.
Well, plenty of American fathers do things with their kids, including kissing them on the face, that is ok when they do it, but it’s not exactly ok when others do... kind of like if a man had pics on his phone of his child in the tub naked playing around that can be kind of cute; if a man had photos of random children/orphans/students on his phone naked in the tub playing, that would be illegal.

She grew up there. Her mother was posted there when she was young. I knew her in the early days. I didn't find her particularly offensive. She knew Cambodia well, and got a PhD in Khmer studies from an Australian university.Lucky Lucan wrote:Three decades of experience in Cambodia? Nonsense. Good work GM, not all that surprising as she was a defender of Wilcox who was sleeping with and violently abusing underage students.
It seems she's also a shit professor:

That doesn't excuse her very misleading statements at the trial though. What I found particularly disgusting was her assertion that the victim's of this vile man's abuse were likely to come to the US to falsely witness against him just so they could overstay their visas.Spanning three decades may be correct, if she was in Cambodia in 90s 00s and 10s. Not that spanning equals three entire decades.

You don't like it when someone has been there longer than you and knows more about the place than you do.

What a ridiculous reply. Her actions defending Ken Wilcox and Daniel Stephen Johnson are what is being discussed here. You knowing her and speaking up for her just shows what a poor judge of character you are. Luckily you and the three child-abusers in question are all long gone from here by now.
