[edit] Emphasis

This article devotes little exploration of the actual invasion, but rather spends most of its time discussing western and UN involvement in some depth. Should there not be more on the actual military aspets and before that the background to the invasion? --Merbabu 13:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The figures for Indonesian casualties are way exaggerated. The real source, "Indonesian Casualties in East Timor" by Gerry van Klinken, shows only 2000 Indonesian soldiers and pro-Indonesian militiamen died in East Timor from 1975-1999 from all causes, far below the 10000 figure mentioned in the article.
