Disneyland Meets The Killing Fields
Cambodia's Ministry of Tourism is preparing grandiose plans for a million-dollar theme park on a former notorious Khmer Rouge.
"The ministry's proposal, to be finalized by the end of this year, includes a full refurbishment of the top leader's houses and a museum complex complete with high-tech video displays on the inner workings of the Khmer Rouge... Tour guides will be selected from among former members of the genocidal regime who are not currently awaiting trial for crimes against humanity. Each will undergo training in English and in how best to deal with foreign tourists."
