Kalau boleh tahu, siapa John Miller atau Kristin Sundell ini?
Kalau melihat nomor telponnya, mereka berada di USA. Lalu, darimana
sumber berita tentang East Timor tsb. didapat? Isinya sih nggak banyak
beda dengan sumber-sumber berita internasional lainnya.
Saya sebetulnya pingin menghubungi ybs secara langsung. Saya pikir, akan
lebih netral lagi kalau saya bisa tahu terlebih dahulu mereka ini.
Ada yang bisa bantu ngasih tahu? Terima kasih.
Salam,
Budi
