	Archdiocese of Denver - DCR - World/Nation
		VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope John Paul II congratulated East Timor on joining the list of "the free nations of the earth" and urged the nation's people to use their new freedom to build a just and peaceful society.
		East Timorese culture should be promoted "based on Christian values, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and on the social doctrine of the Church," Bishop Belo said.
		He said the funding would be used to help the East Timorese people rebuild their country and would promote stability in the fledgling democracy by giving its largely unemployed youths job opportunities.

	Dave Kopel, Paul Gallant & Joanne Eisen on East Timor on National Review Online
		In an attempt to bring East Timor to its knees, Indonesia resorted to forced sterilization (paid by for the World Bank), mass starvation, rape, murder, torture, and conventional and napalm bombing directed at isolated villages, most of which were leveled to the ground.
		The "responsibility…to maintain peace and security in East Timor…in order to ensure that the popular consultation [the vote] is carried out in a fair and peaceful way and in an atmosphere free of intimidation" was placed on the Indonesian government.
		Yet the answer to East Timor's long-term survival might well be "no", because when U.N. peacekeepers pull out three years after independence, the balance of power will shift again, and it might not tilt in favor of the East Timorese populace.

	East Timor
		Despite many positive aspects, the reporting often implicitly accepts the claim that East Timor is part of Indonesia, treating the East Timorese resistance as a separatist movement rather than one trying to expel a foreign invader.
		Unfortunately, the general media silence on East Timor has left the U.S. public in the dark, helping to facilitate one of the great genocides of the late 20th century.

		Even as East Timor looks forward to independence, these testimonies give some indication of the enormous cost that this human rights tragedy has inflicted on its survivors -- of divided and grieving families, uncertain futures, and of the physical and psychological scars that many now bear.

	East Timor Revisited
		The Indonesian invasion of East Timor in December 1975 set the stage for the long, bloody, and disastrous occupation of the territory that ended only after an international peacekeeping force was introduced in 1999.
		Besides confirming that Henry Kissinger and top advisers expected an eventual Indonesian takeover of East Timor, archival material shows that the Secretary of State fully understood that the invasion of East Timor involved the "illegal" use of U.S.-supplied military equipment because it was not used in self-defense as required by law.
		Fears that an independent East Timor could be used as a base by unfriendly governments or spur other secessionist movements in Indonesia had convinced hardliners in the military to press for annexation of the territory.

	CNN.com - Jakarta ignores Timor 'war crimes' - Feb. 25, 2003
		Topping the list of indictments was ex-Indonesian armed forces commander Gen. Wiranto, who has long been accused as being the man most responsible for the bloodletting that swept across the former Indonesian territory in 1999, when its citizens voted for independence in a U.N.-sponsored referendum.
		In a statement, the United Nations said it charged the eight with murder, deportation and prosecution and that the crimes "were all undertaken as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against the civilian population of East Timor and specifically targeted those who were believed to be supporters of independence for East Timor".
		Seven of the offenders, excluding Wiranto, are also accused of funding, training and arming the pro-Indonesia militias that joined the Indonesian military in killing nearly 2,000 people and forcing 250,000 Timorese to flee their homes before and after the referendum.

	EDITORIAL: Let East Timorese refugees stay - 30 November 2002
		Far different is the status of the 1800 East Timorese, who have received Temporary Protection Visas over the past three years, but have lived in Australia much longer, and now face the prospect of deportation back to East Timor.
		It is obviously true that the East Timorese now in Australia have no fear of Indonesian persecution, which was the ground on which the original grant of refugee status was made.
		In light of the fact that the East Timorese have lived in Australia for years, that often family members in Australia have permanent visas or have been naturalised, it would be cruel to separate families by forcing some family members to return to East Timor.

	Is East Timor Really "Out of Control"?
		Critics, however, suggest that the violence in East Timor is not the result of "chaos" or the occupied nation being "out of control," but rather the intended consequence of a plan from Jakarta to punish the East Timorese for asserting their independence.
		An investigation by the London Observer (9/12/99) reported that the campaign in East Timor was planned months in advance, citing "satellite telephone conversations between senior officers in Dili and Jakarta" intercepted by Australian intelligence agencies in March.
		Likewise, reporters need to remember that U.S. and Indonesian officials have their own interests in shaping how the East Timorese crisis is portrayed, and that their views should not be relayed without questioning.
