OPINION

- "Threat
of unreality TV: In the media, places like
Bali only feature as tourist playgrounds. That endangers us all." ... "For
the past nine months, priests and tribal leaders in West Papua, the easternmost
province of Indonesia, have been trying to warn the world that an Islamic
fundamentalist movement is using their land as a training ground. Laskar
Jihad is commanded by a man trained by al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Some of
its members have already been involved in terrorism in the islands of Ambon
and Sulawesi. Since January they have established seven bases in West Papua.
With the help of the Indonesian police and army, they have been stockpiling
arms, recruiting Javanese immigrants and training them for combat." ...
"Since the jihadis arrived, Neles Tebay, a Papuan journalist, has been
sending urgent messages to newspapers and broadcasters around the world,
desperate to attract attention to this protected terrorist network. But
even when eight Pakistani mojahedin arrived, his warnings failed to generate
any response in the newsrooms of either Europe or North America. The Papuans,
ignored and abandoned by the rest of the world, have been reduced to begging
the Indonesian authorities to uphold the law and disarm the jihadis before
they attack." ...
...
"The
physical courage of the freelance camera people and journalists, who risk
their lives to film the world's forgotten atrocities, is matched only by
the moral cowardice of the managers who then refuse even to talk to them,
let alone to run their footage." ... "So perhaps it is time we became more
interactive viewers, and began demanding less "reality TV" and more plain
reality. Otherwise we can expect the world to continue to deliver unpleasant
surprises, as the needs and the responses of its people become ever more
opaque to us." -By George
Monbiot -Guardian.co.uk

- "Bali
Blast May Have al-Qaida Link: Bomb That Destroyed
Indonesian Nightclub May Be Linked to Islamic Extremist Group Allied With
al-Qaida." ... "Though police stopped short of saying the bomb was made
and planted by Jemaah Islamiyah, which has been blamed for a series of
bombings in Southeast Asia in recent years, the use of ammonium nitrate
reinforces suspicions the group was involved."

passes emergency terrorism laws." ... "Indonesian
President Megawati Sukarnoputri has signed into law two decrees expanding

sweeping powers to detain terror suspects without charge for up to six

Bali bombings." -AP

"Bombing
in Bali Seen as Opening New Front in Fight on Terror."
... "The blast that killed nearly 200 people on the Indonesian resort island
of Bali this weekend is a different type of terrorism from what the Bush
administration has campaigned against, and will open a new geographic front
in that campaign, Western officials said yesterday." ... "The target was
not an American embassy, military outpost or financial institution that
would represent American power, of the sort that terrorists have attacked
in the past. Rather, it was a nightclub whose revelers were mostly Europeans
and Australians; indeed, Indonesians were often turned away at the door."
