you're right, east timor 1975.... and neither was indonesia,1965. the list is far from complete. blum gives a better account, although his list is a much longer and much more detailed read. this one is bite-sized and easily digested

  Righto, a half million were murdered in the purge that followed. The US provided lists of some of those to be killed.

  And which Iraq coup? The Iraqis booted their monarchy out in 1958 and installed a popular government headed by a man who was proposing nationalization of the oil industry- Horrors! Something had to be done.
  
  The coup which ousted Kassem's popular government and installed a military dictatorship in 1963 was CIA assisted, and in typical fashion they again provided a list of labor leaders, intellectuals and other troublemakers to be killed afterward.
