Jerry,
I think that the behavior of some of the more
prominent supporters of the PCP on other lists is enough to
give pause regarding what they might do if they were to
come to power. OTOH, I do think that the comparison with
the Khmer Rouge is overdrawn and inaccurate. You may
remember that when this came up on some of those other
lists, both Luis Quispe and Adolfo Olaechea loudly argued
that the PCP does not support the policies of the Khmer
Rouge. This was at a time when Luis and Adoflo were
fervently denouncing each other as police spies, Fujimori
agents, etc.
