Jennar Misquotes: Letter in Cambodia Daily
Rich Garella
Cabinet, and published on September 18, 1998:
Until now we have been reluctant to dignify Raoul Jennar's August 26
Internet diatribe against Sam Rainsy by responding to it. Now that it has
been republished locally, in the Vision, we would like to respond in The
Cambodia Daily because Jennar has misquoted the Daily along with Rainsy.
On August 25, The Cambodia Daily quoted Rainsy as saying, in translation:
"If troops are ordered against peaceful civilians, I appeal to government
armed forces, the forces of Chea Sim and the forces of Sar Kheng and all
soldiers and those compatriots from the border to rise up together and turn
your gun point to get Hun Sen to step down from his position."
Jennar quickly seized an opportunity that most of us would never even
notice. A snip here and a snip there, and he managed to rework Rainsy's
statement into an unconditional call for the assassination of Hun Sen. For
extra points he created an affiliation with the Khmer Rouge:
"I appeal to government armed forces, the forces of Chea Sim and the forces
of Sar Kheng and all soldiers and those compatriots from the border [the
remaining Khmer Rouge forces] to rise up together and turn your gun point
to get Hun Sen."
Jennar goes on to credit The Cambodia Daily for the quotation he has so
badly mauled. In fact, Rainsy has never asked the armed forces to shoot at
any Cambodian leader. On the contrary, he has consistently appealed to them
to refuse to obey illegal orders that violate human rights, such as an
order to shoot at peaceful protesters.
Jennar-and the Vision-should refrain from altering quotations lifted from
their journalistic betters, especially when it is for the purpose of libel.
If Jennar feels he must manufacture evidence against Rainsy, he could do
better than this clumsy job. Others certainly have.
There is no reason to comment on the rest of Jennar's work. But we do hope
that someone is paying him for his efforts. It would be a pity if he were
throwing away his credibility for nothing.

Last night I read the Phnom Penh Daily (internet version of VISION) web
site and realized that Jennar is worst than the CPP; he's a
CPP-wanna-be... and he called himself and independent observer?
most of the space on the PP Daily was filled with Jennar's lies and
distortions against Sam Rainsy---
I think Sam Rainsy should wear this with honor b/c the CPP actually
created a 'newspaper' whose sole reason for existence is to attack Sam
Rainsy and other democrats--- What an honor!
as i was reading the PP Daily, i kept wondering to myself 'where did these
people come from?' Every single words on the PP Daily about Sam Rainsy can
be taken to court and sued for libel...

operation against the KR at Anlong Veng every dry season, our Buddhasava Rainsy always
wrote a protest letter stating strongly that khmer should not fight khmer. He also told us
khmer, especially those who had their loved ones murdered by the KR not to be vengefull.
At a few instances, Rainsy wanted to put all the KR's leaders from Hun Sen up to stand
in the international court. When the american expressed the willingness to bring Khieu
Samphan, Ta Mok and Nuon Chea to be tried, Rainsy said the US is too selective. And,
then he turn around and want to have amnesty for Khieu Samphan.
Since he can not become Prime Minister now, it become clearer and clearer to me
that he is not afraid of anything to get the power and I hope one day he will get what he
deserve.

crimes against humanity in our country come in many different forms.
Yes, he is all for it if the world community were to bring ALL those
responsible for the killings in Cambodia. Among those responsible
either all or in part are:
1. Khmer Rouge (KR) under Pol Pot
2. Khmer Rumdos (KR) that was created/controlled by Vietcongs and much
of its leadership apparatus are Vietcongs disguised as Khmers. This
group is known as CPP today.
3. Hanoi for the KOR5 crimes and others related systematic killings
during their occupation and the war with the Khmer Rouge forces.
There were many ethnic Khmer and Chinese Vietnamese civilians that
died as human shields in front of the Khmer Rouge's cross-border
offensive raids. Then, up to the present day, there are those Khmers
that have been summarily executed by faceless terrorists with CPP's
supports.
4. Implication of United States, China and Russia
I am, too, for social justice in all forms, but JUSTICE cannot be
selective!!! This is what Sam Rainsy has been calling for. So, what
constitute acceptable justice, Ichi, in your opinions?
Personally, I've overcome the bitterness and pains that I'd endured
during the cultural revolution in our country, simply because I view
the existence of #1 (Khmer Rouge) as ncessary evils to infiltrate and
neutralize #2 and #3. In hindsights, as we can see the world history
unfolding today, our country would have been in much better shape today
had our leaders then chosen United States. I know that some people will
be quick to blame King Norodom Sihanouk for everything that had gone
wrong in our country, but I will refrain from forming such attitude only
because I respect his passionate conviction for his people and country.

Of course, it is pointless, but according to you or any SRP follower.
Anyone who dare talk aginst Rainsy or make a joke about his wife,
Ms. Sayonara, you and your packs will come out and bite.

So, if he is really what you had said, why did he protest against those
offensive operations against the KR at Anlong Veng all these years? Of
course, you and your pack will come up that khmer should not fight khmer.
But, are there anything else behind that protest letter? Again, I don't
think you can find any.

Yes, I only hear this from either the royalists like JK, you and the
SRP. Ah, another one, Pen Sovann.

I want the top 10 or 20 KR leaders who were responsible for murdering
those 1.7 million innocent khmer. So, since it can't be selective, it is
better off giving Khieu samphan an amnesty. Is this selective to you?
Obviously not. But, when it come to Hun Sen and the CPP, it is not too
selective for Rainsy and your pack. How many time did I see Rainsy and
the SRP followeres show their grudge against Hun Sen and the CPP and want
international community to bring them to the court? But, that is not
selective to you, not a single bit.
Also , if I am going to use your same 3 items and applying them to Hun Sen
and/or CPP, what will it look like?

Yes, right. Two men commited almost identical acts, but somehow in your
brain, one is excusable while the other is guilty. How many people in this
ng alone calling Hun sen as viet puppet and Sihanouk King? This is the kind
of logic or democracy that you, Rainsy and his followers can have it. An
old car saleman can do 100 times better job the you or Rainsy. If you can
do me a favor, can you apply the same logic to Hun Sen? I mean the one you
use on Sihanouk and show it to me, please.

So, if he is really what you had said, why did he protest against those
offensive operations against the KR at Anlong Veng all these years? ['All these years.'?? What a trash! Stop lying. SR didn't protest the RGC 1997 and 1998 offensives against KR Anlong Veng which resulted thousands of defections.] Of course, you and your pack will come up that khmer should not fight khmer.
But, are there anything else behind that protest letter? Again, I don't
think you can find any.

Yes, I only hear this from either the royalists like JK, you and the
SRP. Ah, another one, Pen Sovann.[Obviously, you haven't gotten out of your computer terminal and assumed a real identity so that you can take a trip to Cambodia. Everybody in Cambodia knows about K5 and talks about it, not just the royalists, SRP and Pen Sovann as just you alleged. There are also khmer activists inside Cambodia gathering evidence for it too. You seem to never have enough trash feeding your brain. If you don't know a thing don't cry foul.]

those 1.7 million innocent khmer. So, since it can't be selective, it is
better off giving Khieu samphan an amnesty. [This argument is meaningless. I hope some intelligent beings know this. Talking about giving amnesty and actually giving one are two different things. One is fait accompli and the other is still what if? Hun Sen has actually given amnesties and SR is still what if. As usual Mrs. likes to skip the facts and lingers on what ifs. That was her typical trash talks; she never gets enough of them. What if SR never wins the elections and never becomes a prime minister? What if he becomes a pm and decides to give amnesty to Khieu Samphan, but he has to back away because Rich Garella against it? Are we still holding him responsible for it? What ifs..? Can we just stick with the facts at hands now. No, Mrs. ichi would go berserk!] Is this selective to you?
