The Khmer Rouge As part of a special series on war crimes in our times, NPR's Anne Garrels has the second of two reports on the legacy of Cambodia's infamous Khmer Rouge, the brutal Communist regime that tortured, murdered, and starved more than a million Cambodians in the 1970's. It's been 20 years since the Khmer Rouge rulers were overthrown, but Cambodia still hasn't recovered from the damage they did to the country and its people.
