RE: Indonesia: Conflict in Acheh

Sallams -
A local filmmaker here in Kansas City just returned from filming in Aceh and 
will soon be making an independent documentary called Exxon's Army.  The 
unedited film I saw included see the military open fire on unarmed 
protesters.

Keep an eye open for it
Sallam
