The Rev Christopher LaPel in Cambodia baptizes about 90 converts in little more than an hour amid claims that some missions tie conversions to aid such as wells and food. Duch, a former Khmer Rouge prison director, is described as a model convert aiding calls for a genocide tribunal while others question the sincerity of the rice Christians and the role of foreign aid in conversions.

Bush pardons stance sparks review of clemency power
Texas Governor Bush signals a cautious approach to pardons, citing a need for responsible use of clemency. He notes 118 pardons since 1995 with 16 granted and about 350 rejected, while critics call it abdication of leadership. Board recommendations show many cases involve old misdemeanors and drug offenses, with some life-time and death-penalty actions already taken.
