"Indonesia accepts panel's criticism; Acknowledges crimes in E. Timor" by Paul Watson, Los Angeles Times | July 16, 2008
JAKARTA, Indonesia - The president of Indonesia yesterday formally accepted a commission report that blames his country's security forces for supporting militias in a frenzy of murder, rape, and other crimes against humanity in East Timor nine years ago.
It was the first time Indonesia's government has accepted charges that members of its military and police, along with civilian authorities, helped pro-Indonesian militias carry out a brutal campaign against East Timor's bid for independence.
At least 1,000 people died, and thousands more were driven from their homes, in the 1999 violence that erupted after East Timor's people voted for independence from Indonesia, which had sent in troops to occupy the former Portuguese colony in 1975.
Yeah, don't mention the 700,000 East Timorese that were slaughtered in the 25-year occupation!
Just as they fail to mention the CIA turning over a list of 500,000 "suspected Communists" for the dictator Suharto to murder in 1965.
Ah, the history related by the Zionist War Dailies!! Can't beat 'em for purely selective propaganda!!!!
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in Bali:
"We must learn from what happened in the past to find out the facts over who has done what to whom, and who must be held responsible. Only the truth will free us from those past experiences."
--MORE--"And for YOU, Americans, that means INVESTIGATE 9/11 for YOURSELF!!!!
