Aceh Assistance and U.S. Accountability

Since the Indonesian military is increasingly inserting itself into (and therefore delaying, restricting and politicizing) much-needed assistance from large international agencies and foreign governments to Aceh, the area hardest hit by last month's tsunami, I think this bears repeating:

Please donate through two U.S.-based organizations who relay donations directly to grassroots groups in Aceh, the East Timor Action Network and Nonviolence International. Also stay tuned, as the United States is seeing the tragedy as an opening to resume military assistance to Indonesia, one of the world's most brutal militaries.
