The article focuses on journalist Kathy Kadane's story for States News Service on the part played by CIA and State Department officials in the 1965- 1966 bloodbath in Indonesia. The U.S. officials in Jakarta furnished names of about 5,000 Communist activists to the Indonesian Army and then checked off names as the army reported that these individuals had been killed or captured. By the lowest estimate, 250,000 Communists and suspected supporters were murdered in Indonesia. Many Indonesians still suffer direct consequences of events of 1965-1966. About fifty individuals imprisoned at the time remain incarcerated today.
