DemocracyNOW reports on Indonesian government importing "Al Qaeda militants"

January 10th DemocracyNOW: the continuing exploitation of the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster by the major state powers continues with the alleged importation of "Al Qaeda t-shirt wearing militants" by the Indonesian military into the contested province of Aceh in order to show a need for US Military involvement.

The interview is with Alan Nairn, a longtime reporter on things Indonesian (he was Amy Goodman's companion when they were beaten by Indonesian soldiers in the early 90's as they attempted to report on a human rights march).
