US Considered Poisons for Assassinations

[_JS]

Never to the degree of the Cold War. Also, never has contemporary history glossed over the dubious aspects that our own nation played in that "collateral damage" so easily and willfully.

Are you surprised that the research was done? Should it have been?

Surprised? No.

Should it have been done? Meh, ethics was just an obstacle in the Cold War, wasn't it?

Weapons development is unethical?

East Timor

(I can name many, many more...but we can start with one)

Name one.

Are you kidding? Remember, it's not just an issue about the U.S. Surely you can think of damage done by the Soviet Union?

[Richpo64]

So the people of East Timor would be better off as a Soviet satellite rather than a Republic?

You aren't to bright are you. Perhaps the burka is too tight?

So you're saying you don't have an answer to that question?

[Richpo64]

No, I'm saying you're stupid. Is that clear enough?

No, I'm saying you're stupid. Is that clear enough?

That remark would bother me coming from some people.

You, Rich, are not one of those people. You have yet to demonstrate enough intelligence of your own to be taken seriously on any level.

The people of East Timor were slaughtered by the Indonesians after Suharto asked permission to do so from President Ford in 1976. I'm guessing they didn't give a damn about the egos of two superpowers at the time.

That is of course, the United States giving permission for the Muslim Indonesian brutal dictator (but avid anti-communist   ) Suharto, to murder somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 to 300,000 East Timorese Christians. There was no Soviet threat anywhere in East Timor.

They became a Republic in 1996, with the help of Australia and New Zealand, and mostly Portugal (and a number of priests from the latter country). We had very little to do with it and it was much to the chagrin of our allies in Indonesia.

[Richpo64]

So Gerald Ford gave permission for the whole sale slaughter of 200,000 people.

Your evidence for this?

[Richpo64]

Careful Henny, you're getting awful uppity for a Muslim woman.



Do you really think I give a damn what some Muslim trollop thinks of me?

See if you can find another woman to back you up. After all you're not worth as much as a man in court.

Department of State Telegram

Especially look at page 8 #39 and all of page 9. Especially interesting is Kissenger's comment on page 9 #43, which shows that he knew it was going to be an unpopular affair and was afraid of US involvement (via arms trade with Indonesia) coming to light.

Wow, officially the dumbest post ever.

And obviously you care, or you wouldn't have bothered responding with this filth.
