Significantly, Woolcott went on to say: 'Although we know it is not true, the formal position of the Indonesian government is still that there is no Indonesian military intervention in East Timor. If the Minister said or implied in public the Indonesian Government was lying we would invite a hurt and angry reaction.
After the orgy of killing at Lacluta a Timorese asked an Indonesian soldier why he had killed the wife and child of a FRETLIN guerrilla, and the reply was: 'When you clean the field, don't you kill all the snakes, the small and large alike?'
