AFP investigates Balibo as war crime

This is a sequel of sorts to this post.

34 years after the event, Australian Federal Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths of five Australian newsmen during the Indonesian invasion of East Timor... as a potential war crime.

Needless to say the Indonesian government is less than happy about the AFP stirring up uncomfortable memories.

We now hear that one or more of them may have been tortured (read "subjected to enhanced interrogation"... if so inclined) prior to being murdered. Or possibly tortured to death.

To hell with the Indonesian government. Let's get the truth.
