Jailed Americans feel theyVe become ‘prisoners of revei
□ The two aircraft mechanics
said that they mistakenly
crossed the border into Iraq
while going to visit friends.
Two Americans jailed in Baghdad feel
they have become "prisoners of revenge"
and are “begging the outside world to do
something about their case/’ a television
news network reported Wednesday.
One of the men, 41-year-old David Dalib-
erti, suffered a heart seizure the day he and
William Barloon, 39, were sentenced, but
both men appeared to be in good health,
though shaken, said Cable News Network
correspondent Brent Sadler, who visited
them Wednesday in the Abu-Graib prison.
Daliberti, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Bar
loon, of New Hampton, Iowa, were arrested
March 13 and sentenced Saturday for ille
gally entering Iraq. The two aircraft me
chanics, working in Kuwait under civilian
contract to the U.S. Navy, say they inad
vertently strayed into Iraq while going to
visit friends.
Sadler said the men were adamant that
they were in U.N.-marked territory when
they were arrested, and said they had passed
at least two unmanned Kuwaiti barricades
before they were taken into custody.
Sadler visited the two Americans for two
hours in the company of the Polish charge
d’affaires representing U.S. interests in
Iraq. Washington broke off diplomatic rela
tions with Baghdad after Iraq invaded
Kuwait in August 1990.
“They seemed downcast, hollow-eyed,
tired and in a complete state of uncertainty
as to what their future is going to be,”
Sadler said from the Iraqi capital.
But generally speaking, they appeared
healthy. The Polish diplomat, Ryszard
Krystosik, told Associated Press Televi
sion he found them to be “in muchl*
shape” than when he saw them Thin
and Saturday.
Daliberti, however, told Sadler it
suffered a heart seizure in Baghdadoc
urday. Barloon hammered on the;
cell doors for three hours trying toi
the attention of prison guardis before 1)
erti was given medicine and an elecn
diogram, Sadler said.
The two men felt they were “priso;;
revenge” who had been “committedt«i
years in jail for simply making
turn,” Sadler said.
Daliberti said he has a valid Iraqi;,
his passport in Kuwait, and hoped:
that visa to appeal his sentence.
Iraq’s deputy prime ministe:
Wednesday that the two American;
not be given clemency because that;
“create a lot of complications,” the;
Iraq News Agency reported in a bra
monitored in Cyprus.

Ethnic violence has nation on course toward disast
□ Burundi's displaced
people outnumber the
dwellers of its capital.
BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP)
— Burundi is a nation on the
run. Refugees fleeing violence
outnumber residents in the
capital — and its second largest
city is now a camp populated by
Rwandans.
It is a country where might
makes right. It is a land where
the tragic lessons of neighboring
Rwanda have been lost.
Life in the Central African
country is “a little like quick
sand,” said Frances Turner, the
head of the U.N.
Children’s Fund in Burundi.
“What appears to be, isn’t. You
have to anticipate not just the un
expected, but the unimaginable.”
The unimaginable includes
the brutality of this mountain
ous, hauntingly beautiful land
where neighbors set upon neigh
bors with machetes.
A recent UNICEF study of
2,769 of the more than 14,000
children made orphans by ethnic
killings since October 1993,
found 58 percent had been per
sonally attacked. It said 77 per
cent of those children knew their
attackers, and in nearly 81 per
cent of those cases, the assailant
was a neighbor.
Killers act with impunity in
Burundi. Ethnic violence be
tween the majority Hutus and
minority Tutsis promotes the
ambitions of extremist political
parties and individual politi
cians intent on taking power.
“People are never prosecuted
for political crimes in Burundi,”
said U.N. special representative
Ahmedou Ould Abdallah.
Revenge becomes the only av
enue of retribution. Massacres
by extremists on both sides
breed more fear and feed ethnic
hate and suspicions.
The lessons of the genocide
of more than 500,000 people
last year in Rwanda are lost on
Burundi because memories of
its own past massacres erect an
impenetrable barrier to
reconciliation.
“It’s seared into the soul of
every Burundian. Every Hutu
cannot forget 1972. Every Tutsi
cannot forget 1993,” said Turner.
More than 100,000 people
were killed in 1972 in massacres
that followed a failed Hutu coup
attempt. An estimated 100,000
people were killed in 1993 after
a failed coup attempt by ele
ments of the overwhelmingly
Tutsi military.
Because the balance of power
is different, aid workers and
U.N. officials don’t expect
killings on a Rwandan scale. But
none rules out the possibility.
In the muddy warrens of the
dirt roads that make up Bujum
bura’s impoverished neighbor
hoods, people are hacked or shot
to death for no reason other than
ethnic identity.
At Prince Regent Charles Hos
pital, a Hutu man slashed repeat
edly with a machete cried as he
talked about the killings of his
wife and three children in the
weekend violence that killed any
where from 150 to 500 people.
Dr. Simba Muangwa said the
man, Sylvestre Gahunga, 39,
was one of only three people hos
pitalized with wounds suffered
in the fighting.
“I’ve got a feeling that this
time we didn’t see as many pa
tients from the violence because
the attacks were very brutal.
Most were killed, not injured,”
said Muangwa.
“There is no political will to
stop this violence,” said Muang
wa. “One groups tries to increase
its power and the others try to
reconquer what theyhav;

From its inception, the mission at Trilogy has been to become a software giant. As one of
the fastest growing software companies in the US, we’re well on our way. We are 100 people
strong today, and we are looking to satiate our astounding growth with the best minds and
most driven people in the nation. In the five years since our founding, Trilogy has established
itself as the next major force in enterprise software. Our Enterprise Sales and Marketing
system is “changing the way business is done” (Wall Street Journal). We are expanding in every
department and in all locations - our headquarters is in Austin, Texas.
The opportunity to work at Trilogy is the chance of a lifetime — with limitless possibilities
for personal and professional growth. Instead of restricting employees to strict job classifica
tions, Trilogy is organized in functional teams: the development team, the consulting arm, the
marketing team and the sales force. Ultimately, everyone creates his or her own job
description; if you have the desire and skill to accomplish something that adds value to the
company, we say “go for it!” At Trilogy, self-managed autonomy comes with great demand for
performance. Nothing but the best is expected. Fortunately, with exceptional performance
comes rich rewards; our compensation is not competitive, IT’S BET TER.
A young company — bounding with an unique energy and enthusiasm. The average age of
people around here is about the age of our CEO ~ 26. Every member of our team has
intelligence, tenacity, aggressiveness and the common inclination to challenge the impossible.
It’s an incredibly interactive environment, with a flat hierarchy outside of senior management.
The learning “curve” is virtually vertical with training and immediate challenging assignments.
Responsibility for projects starts day one.
Fortune called us “One of the 25 Coolest Companies.” Quality of life is important. We
realize that the most productive employee is a happy one. Everyone around here puts a ton
of energy into building this dream, so that “a fun workplace” will never be an oxymoron at
Trilogy. Spontaneous trips to Vegas, sky diving excursions, and company dinners are not
uncommon. As a reward for reaching our company goals this year, we all enjoyed a five day
vacation on Maui! You could say it’s all culture building, good for business — we just think
it’s fun.
