Gerald Ford & his Role in the East Timor Invasion

President Gerald Ford passed away last night.  Well known as the man who replaced Richard Nixon after Watergate, and ended the Vietnam War, little is mentioned about his role in East Timor.  In 1975 Indonesia invaded East Timor with the blessing of the United States, and Ford.  The military invasion was responsible for wiping out nearly 1/3 of the East Timor population, and is considered by many as a massacre.
