Journalist Allan Nairn Confronts President Clinton Over U.S. Policy Toward East Timor; Amy Goodman and Allan Nairn Question Brigadier General Over U.S. Military Support for Indonesia

Former President Bill Clinton led the U.S. delegation to East Timor’s independence ceremony and inaugurated the U.S. embassy in Dili, East Timor. In his remarks Clinton celebrated the U.S. role in bringing about East Timor’s independence, ignoring his administration’s seven year record of support for the Indonesian military in spite of systematic human rights abuses. Journalist Allan Nairn had an opportunity to question President Clinton about U.S. policy toward East Timor during his administration.
