Reporting on Zimbabwe

The LAT reports again on the situation in Zimbabwe, which is pitiful. The reporter is Robyn Dixon, who deserves a medal for her work. Alongside the piece on Zimbabwe, LAT staff writer Thomas Maugh explains cholera -- what it is, how it affects humans, how the disease spreads and how it is treated.

The NewsHour on PBS last night broadcast sickening pictures of people suffering from cholera in the epidemic in Zimbabwe in which more than 700 have died. The epidemic is the direct result of Robert Mugabe's policies. He's a criminal and ought to be tried as such.
