INTERVIEW SUMMARY:
President Obama arrived in Indonesia today on the
second stop of a 10-day trip to Asia. It’s
Obama’s first state visit to Indonesia after
having lived there for four years as a child.
Democracy Now! speaks with Jakarta-based
investigative journalist and activist Allan
Nairn, who has just released secret documents
from Kopassusthe feared Indonesian special
forceswhich has been responsible for human
rights abuses since the 1950s. Earlier this year,
the Obama administration lifted a 12-year ban on
funding the training of Kopassus. While Obama
talks about human rights, the documents indicate
that Kopassus targets churches and civilians and
includes a Kopassus enemies list topped by a
local Baptist minister in West Papua. We also
speak with John Miller, the National Coordinator
of East Timor and Indonesia Action Network.
