Kissinger's war crimes: East Timor
from declassified documents:

Kissinger: "On the Timor thing, that will leak in three months and it will come out that Kissinger overruled his pristine bureaucrats and violated the law. How many people know about this?

Staff member: "Three."

Kissinger: "Plus everyone in this meeting. Everything on paper will be used against me."

{and so it shall be, although it's taking a while}


Since 1975 roughly 1/3 of the population of East Timor has been killed by the Indonesian army. This genocide is supported by the US, UK and other western nations. There's a lot of oil off the shore of East Timor.

From the documentary "Death of a nation - The East Timor conspiracy" by John Pilger

2. Kissinger is hardly the only one,
but he's one of the worst.

3. True Enough, Sir

On both counts.

A World Court with real teeth might be as busy a place as the municipal violence court on a summer Saturday night....

6. The main religion in East Timor is Catholic,
and Indonesia has the largest Islamic population in the world.

So in this war on terror the West actually supports 'Islamists' in their slaughter of Christians. On a remote island that nobody ever hears about.
