It may be an attempt to ease the mounting pressure on the Indonesian military by claiming that the newsmen were shot only after they fired on, which is nonsense. According to my investigations in the immediate aftermath of the killing, Fretilin troops were no where near the scene when the journalists were killed, and the victims were unarmed. Purwanto did of course play a role. As I recall he was in charge of communications during the attack. However, it is true that in 1983 he played a conciliatory role, engaging in talks with Xanana, an initiative that got him into trouble with Jakarta. It is however a clear statement that the newsmen were executed to prevent exposure of Indonesia's illegal invasion. Even if some shots were fired at the intruders, which I do not believe was the case, it did not justify the shooting of the newsmen. The case must go on.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003585150140208207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655051297652464868.post-14122494347718909642009-10-09T20:19:44.004-04:002009-10-09T20:19:44.004-04:00Thank you John for this article.

I maintain that the core issue is that West Papua is a COLONY, contrary to global agreements it was traded as a COLONY from the Dutch via the UN to Indonesia for benefit of the USA.<br /><br />The Freeport corporation began actions in 1959 to claim Papua's gold & copper for itself, Freeport director Robert Lovett in December 1960 told John F Kennedy that the US should appoint McGeorge Bundy over the NSC and it was the NSC which twisted JFKs arm into coercing the Dutch into selling the people of West Papua to Indonesian military occupation and a mining license for Freeport from General Suharto.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815468873266902240noreply@blogger.com
