Excerpt:

President Barack Obama has been urged to deal with Cambodia's longstanding human rights concerns during a see this month to the Southeast Asian country, the first by a U.S. president, a human rights team said on Tuesday. New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a report that more than 300 individuals have been eliminated in politically enthusiastic attacks in the previous twenty years during the regulation of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. The report suggested senior Cambodian government officials and protection forces were involved in a collection of significant rights abuses because Cambodia signed peace arrangements in 1991 to pave the way for democracy. It said officials presumably liable for extrajudicial killings and other abuses against opposition political leaders, protection forces, activists and journalists have not been put on trial, however instead were rewarded.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
