Training Indonesia's Army Noah talks with Allan Nairn, the author of an article in the March 30th issue of The Nation, which reveals that funding for training of the Indonesian military is being supplied by the United States Government. Nairn discusses how the Clinton Administration has been providing money to train the Indonesian military as part of a preparation for social upheavals in that country. As of right now, though, the actual costs of the program are not public information...and neither the Pentagon nor Congress are talking about the rationale behind spending the money for this training.
