...operations in Laos are, if anything, an even greater farce. There has been no commission investigation in that kingdom since 1965. Only in Cambodia, where the war occasionally spills over the border-as it did at Prey Toul-has there been a measure of ICC success. The commission's presence has probably deterred the Communists from more blatant use of their Cambodian sanctuary, while discouraging the U.S. and the South Vietnamese from striking across the frontier in hot pursuit of Communist forces...

They must have found the film comforting, because it seems to show that even in the twelfth century Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine held Dear Abby attitudes. "I want the Aquitaine for John!" "I want it for Richard!" Nyaahnyaah. Like a medieval collection of Games People Play, but they play them so fast we lose track.
