President Obama arrived in Indonesia today on the second stop of a 10-day trip to Asia. It’s Obama’s first state visit to Indonesia after having lived there for four years as a child. 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.

Do any of this really surprise people any more .Where are the plain ol people who stand for freedoms and rights for human and humanity's?Why does our country support others who have yet to give equal rights to all human's?When will true freedoms ring for all humans .I have been so confused I thought America USA stood for freedoms from religion's control freedom from culture control of others.I thought we stood for fairness.Fair chance to be able to be all you could in what you wanted so we could whistle while we work and play.We where free to help who needed it in how they truly needed as a sharing caring people.Earth I pray for us all.
