Indonesians: Weak on Terror

If you're not enraged yet, you're not paying attention.

Bali bomb plotter Abu Bakar Ba'asyir could have his jail term cut under a general amnesty due to be announced next week, Indonesian media report.

Ba'asyir, who is said to lead the Jemaah Islamiyah militant group, was sentenced to 30 months in March for conspiracy over the 2002 attacks.

He may now have his sentence cut along with 53,000 other inmates to mark 60 years of Indonesian independence.

Relatives of some of the 202 people killed in Bali have voiced dismay.

Letting this guy out early after giving him a cupcake sentence for being the ringleader of a barbaric attack on innocent civilians would be an absolute, unequivocal demonstration by the Indonesian government that they do not take Islamofascist terrorism seriously. Such a move is completely unacceptable, just like giving him only thirty months in prison was unacceptable.
