A POW's 'Tears in the Darkness' - CNN.com: "Ben Steele hated the young man as soon as he saw him.
The man's almond-shaped eyes, dark hair and olive skin -- Steele had seen those Asian facial features before.
He saw that face when he watched Japanese soldiers behead sick men begging for water, run over stumbling prisoners with tanks and split his comrades' skulls with rifle butts.
'Men died like flies,' Steele says. 'I thought for a while I would never make it.'
Steele, now 91, is one of the last survivors of the Bataan Death March."
