Also, in advance of Obama's trip, "the Kopassas commanding general came to Washington and was welcomed by the Obama team." Back home, they're confident of being green-lighted to continue their old ways, ones never ended to receive full Obama administration backing.
A Final Note
On March 24, Nairn reported that the TNI threatened to arrest him for revealing its hit squad assassinations, "presumably on criminal defamation charges."
On March 25, he added the following:
"The Indonesian news channel TV One is running text scrolls on their screen (saying the TNI) is either planning to or has already filed criminal charges against me. The crime, the scrolls say, consists of 'defiling the good name of TNI.' In today's Indonesia it can be a crime to report assassinations, but, given that no Generals have gone to prison for such murders, it is not treated as a crime to commit them."
Not is it in Washington to support or commit crimes of war, against humanity, or political killings. CIA and Pentagon hit squads do it daily.
