1999-09-16 Richard Moore Dear cj, Below are some interesting angles and background on the East Timor situation. In cj#982, Chomsky quoted the following NY Times piece as giving the ‘very clear’ reasons for US inaction: …the Clinton Administration “has made the calculation that the United States must put its relationship with Indonesia, a mineral-rich nation … Read more…
1999-09-13 Richard Moore rkm to cj: Several subscribers have sent in thoughts about East Timor, and I’ve received some reports I’d like to share.

1999-09-08 Richard Moore Dear cj, I’m curious as to what kind of reactions you’ve been having to the East Timor situation, and the media coverage – comments invited.
