Wearing a white polo shirt and with his graying hair neatly combed, the rail-thin 65-year-old appeared relaxed as he rose, pressed his palms together and addressed the United Nations-backed Khmer Rouge genocide tribunal on Tuesday at the first public hearing of a former member of Pol Pot's brutal regime...
