The newsman on this show. Peter Jennings. remarked about how horrible the Thai pirates are: Of the 138 boats which reached Thailand. 77 had been attacked by Thai pirates. Since 1981 more than 500 refugees. mostly young women. have been abducted by the pirates. most all were raped and then either thrown overboard to drown or sold into prostitution. The U.S. Committee on Refugees says something must be done to help the Government of Thailands efforts to stop piracy or it will never end. I agree. Equally horrendous. however. are the atrocities perpetrated on the Vietnamese by the Communists who have taken over the country.
