Yeah, I've just been following sound bites on CNN, but the Aussies
did make the news over here. I'll note that Pakistan got more
coverage yesterday than Timor has for the last week (then again, I've
got a friend visiting India so maybe its just an attention thing). SO
no, its not being ignored.
FWIW, the NavWarGames list at onelist.com has been discussing East
Timor as a Harpoon scenario. Interested types may want to check that
out.
