“The State Department's memo is full of misleading and irrelevant arguments. It fails to make the case that the waiver is in the ?national security interest? of the U.S., as required by law.

“The U.S. needs a forward-looking policy toward Indonesia that promotes genuine accountability for human rights crimes and real reform of its corrupt military. Providing military assistance will undermine both.”
