US government documents actually show the US playing a much more active role in the Indonesian genocide than this New York Times headline (10/18/17) suggests.

“Standing by,” however, is not what the United States did during the Indonesian genocide of 1965–66; rather, it actively supported the massacres, which were applauded at the time by the New York Times.
