[Marinir] [theaustralian] Kopassus claims cloud war games => Amartien

[Yap Hong Gie]

Segitu mudahnya orang percaya dan terpengaruh oleh The Australian yang
sering melemparkan sampah pembusukan ke publik?

Semua tergantung pada persepsi kita masing-masing; bagaimana membuat
benchmarking, nilai-nilai dan norma yang jernih dan proporsional.
Bagaimana logikanya  --sambil ngopi-ngopi di cafe-- orang membahas nilai dan
norma tentang situasi-kondisi dimedan perang?
Melihat sejarah militer dari zaman dulu hingga perang di Irak yang saat ini
sedang berlangsung, apakah ada tindakan militer yang bersih dari
"pelanggaran HAM"?

Apakah tentara AUS atau AS, tidak melakukan kekejaman terhadap kemanusiaan?

PBB Harus Usut Kekejaman Pasukan Australia
(Kutipan):
=Komandan Pasukan Pejuang Integrasi (PPI), Filomeno Antonio Britto,
menyatakan delapan anggotanya dianiaya anggota Interfet dan seorang tewas
dibakar di kompleks Pelabuhan Dili.
Disiram
Clementino, kata Britto, korban tewas setelah disiram bensin dan disulut api
dalam keadaan hidup oleh Interfet di tempat terbuka kompleks itu. Sedangkan
Lino Soares, Antoninho Soares, Marcellino de Jesus, Gregorio Soares, Mathias
Soares, Alberto, dan Domingos juga disiksa, lalu tewas.
Pasukan Australia yang banyak menangkap dengan mengutamakan pendekatan
militer dapat merusak citra positif keberadaan pasukan multinasional
Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa di Timtim.=

Bagaimana kelanjutan tentang militer AUS yang melakukan pemerkosaan di
Tim-Tim, yang setelah ketahuan ybs dikirim pulang?

Bagaimana dengan Fretilin dan milisia pro-Kemerdekaan Tim-Tim, apakah mereka
dianggap sebagai "Choir Boys"?

Gutteres Anggap Xanana Harus Ikut Bertanggung Jawab

 = Pada 1975, kata dia, Fretelin (organisasi Xanana) membantai lebih dari
60.000 warga saat perang saudara melanda daerah itu.
"Laporan amnesti PBB pada 1982 mengakui pembantaian yang dilakukan oleh
Fretelin dan saat itu telah diumumkan secara terbuka. Publik mengetahui hal
itu. Tetapi kemudian didiamkan," katanya. =


Betapa hypocrite meributkan tindakan penyiksaan oleh Kopassus (itupun kalau
seluruhnya benar), padahal penyerangan terhadap perlawanan Irak, selalu
didahului dengan pemboman pesawat atau Helicoper AS terhadap wilayah
(pemukiman) tersebut, dimana korban wanita, anak-anak dan orang tua, belum
tentu masuk dalam angka statistik casualties of war.


Untuk sekedar meyamakan persepsi, bahwa Kopassus bukanlah satuan Pandu atau
Pramuka, they are no Scouts!
Doktrin mereka bukan "Search and Rescue", tetapi sebaliknya: "Search and
Destroy"
Kita semua tahu, bahwa Kopassus --seperti pasukan komando manapun-- memang
digembleng untuk membunuh; "Kill or to be Killed".


Dalam laporan Commission of Reception of Truth, Reconciliation (CAVR),
dituduhkan bahwa TNI menggunakan bom napalm di Timor Timur.
Apakah manipulasi opini dan pembusukan seperti ini juga harus kita terima?

Wassalam, yhg.

Di artikel ini disebut bahwa Kopassus melatih Laskar Jihad nan jahat.
Hmm,  kalau Laskar Jihad nan jahat sih benar2 ada.  Di koran2 di Indonesia
pun ada sering disebut, bahkan menjadi kebanggaan beberapa orang/kelompok.

Kopassus claims cloud war games
Sian Powell, Jakarta correspondent
20jan06

INDONESIA'S Kopassus special forces have been directly implicated in
thousands of human rights violations in East Timor in a new report
documenting instances of murder, rape and torture, just weeks before
Australia resumes joint training exercises with the notorious unit.

Australian special forces soldiers will begin counter-terrorism and hijack
recovery exercises with Kopassus troops in Perth next month, six years after
Canberra severed military ties when Kopassus was accused of killing
political activists in the dying days of the Suharto regime.

Kopassus-trained militia also fired on and wounded Australian soldiers in
the lead-up to East Timor's independence in 1999 and members of the unit are
also suspected in the past of training terrorist groups such as Laskar
Jihad.

The independent Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation, which
took nearly 8000 statements from East Timorese witnesses, received 8710
reports of human rights violations by Kopassus and its predecessor
Kopassandha, in all districts and during all periods of Indonesia's
occupation from 1975 to 1999.
Kopassus has long been blamed for orchestrating the violence in East Timor
during Indonesia's 24-year occupation.

In 1999, many militias were said to be run by Kopassus forces.

Allegations of atrocities are sprinkled throughout the commission's damning
2500-page report. "In addition to assignments with Kopassandha/Kopassus
units (Nanggala and Chandraca) Kopassandha/Kopassus personnel also
served in territorial units and combat battalions, including in intelligence
roles,"
the report says.
"Though extremely high, the number of violations attributed to
Kopassandha/Kopassus does not therefore cover anything like all the reported
violations committed by its personnel."

East Timor President and former resistance hero Xanana Gusmao wrote about
Kopassus in a letter to the UN in 1982, which is quoted in the report. "In
every village there was and still is a prison and every day five to 10
people are tortured, burned with cigarettes, systematically electrocuted
with high voltage electricity, or become victims of the Nanggala (Kopassus)
killer knives," he wrote. "They pull out fingernails and squeeze testicles
with pliers." Mr Gusmao also wrote of women taken to serve the pleasures of
both ordinary soldiers and Kopassus.

Defence Minister Robert Hill announced last month that Australian special
forces and Kopassus special forces would take part in the two-week Exercise
Dawn Kookaburra.
Senator Hill maintains the exercises are vital to fostering co-operation
with Indonesia in readiness for a terrorist incident involving Australians.
But the Labor Opposition has urged Australia to vet Kopassus soldiers to
ensure none has committed human rights abuses or actions against Australian
soldiers.

A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said Australia
had not been provided with a copy of the report - due to be handed to UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York today - and could not comment.
