The invasion of East Timor--the forgotten incident

Both the New York Times and the Washington Post conveniently forgot to mention the invasion of East Timor in their obituaries of former president Gerald Ford, so I am mentioning it here. It wasn't pretty.

The Times and the Post can be forgiven, however. They, like all major news media, also omitted or glossed over all the horrors committed by former president Reagan.
