#1 Innocent according to CNBC report.

Don't let the Indo's or Malays get anywhere near any of the guys captured. If the jerk is higher up than a foot soldier he'll either escape - or go scot-free.

Fucking Indos.

#2 viewed as a big test for Indonesiaâs commitment to fighting Muslim militancy.

A definite fail,he was found innocent of Treason, but guilty of 'subversion' and sentenced for 4 years, he intends to appeal.

Also, Malaysia might be led by an anti-semite and a rascist, but he has no tolerance for radical Jihadis. There are nearly a hundred Islamists in prison in Malaysia, some of them for nearly 2 years, and none of them have even gone to court thanks to Malaysia's Internal Security Act.
And during the last elections, the state run tv in Malaysia showed footage of the Taliban executing women in a soccer field, with the not so subtle message that the Islamist opposition party are a bunch of medievel fanatics.

#3 PM - Well the subversion / 4 yrs is at least a small consolation. CNBC must've been a little careless as they announced that Bashir had been acquitted - and that was that. Of course, the appeal may work or he may get a shortened sentence. Sigh. Thx for the clarification - I was so pissed I switched over to Eye Candy (Fashion TV), turned off the sound, and started playing MP3's - James Brown is on right now, in fact - and not even surfing around, just refreshing RB between tunes.

As for Mahathir - I have zero confidence in the good Dr Moonbat. I wonder about who, exactly, has been jailed - and why, exactly. I see nothing about him worthy of trust and can't help but think that the ones in jail are just not his jihadis. 8-)

One thing is damned certain, the US should keep Hamball in Gitmo. We could let the Indo and Malay 'investigators' can come to visit him - if they swim from Miami. It's a shame the Thais had to release his wife to Mahathir's bunch.

#6 in the long run i think Indon, which holds trials, is a better bet for changing the muslim world then Malaysia, which does not.

#8 "send in Tisiphone, Megara, and Alecto"

Bah, never send Furies to do the work of a god.
Send in Shiva, Lord of Destruction!

#9 Just a little conjecture, but consider: there's an asteroid heading toward the earth. It fractures from natural causes (gravitational stress, whatever), and only a medium-size piece, say a kilometer in diameter, hits the planet, dead-center on Mecca. Do you think the Muslims would get a clue?

#10 You mean, they'd get a bigger stone to circle 'round than the one they have now?? They'd think it was a blessing from Allah.
