Indonesia-US ties -- secret documents 1/5 (Democracy Now)

While president Obama is visiting Indonesia documents have come to light revealing US backed Indonesian special forces unit to target Papuan churches, civilians.

"We go to Jakarta to speak with investigative journalist and activist Allan Nairn, who has just released secret documents from Kopassus—the feared Indonesian special forces—which has been responsible for human rights abuses since the 1950s. Earlier this year, the Obama administration lifted a 12-year funding ban for the training of Kopassus. While Obama talks about human rights, the documents indicate that Kopassus targets churches and civilians and includes a Kopassus enemies list topped by a local Baptist minister in West Papua."

I wonder how could America intervene Indonesia's military act against human right. I believe that Indonesia and America are both evils!! Both have never understood the real meaning of human right because of their hypocrite attitudes!!
