Crof, over at Crofsblog, is supposed to be on a 10 day vacation, but he has managed to post a blog or two each day anyway. If you haven't been stopping by on a daily basis, you should.
Last night he posted on Indonesian Health Minister Supari's claim that NAMRU-2 (our Naval Medical Research Unit) stationed in Jakarta since the early 1970's, is of no benefit to the Indonesian people.
A hat tip to Crof for finding this article on Antara News.

Namru-2 is of no benefit to Indonesia, outspoken minister says
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari refused to respond to written questions posed by the House of Representatives` Commission I to her on the presence of the US Navy`s medical laboratory Namru-2 in Indonesia.
"To me, nothing needs to be explained because the presence of Namru-2 is obviously of no benefit to Indonesia," the minister said in a working meeting with the House`s Commission I here on Wednesday.
In the meeting led by Commission I Chairman Theo L Sambuaga, Minister Supari said she was very disappointed about a visit House Commission I members had made to the Namru-2 laboratory last Wednesday (June 18).
The visit was useless because Namru-2 had done nothing in the interest of research in Indonesia, she said.
