Howard awaits reply from Indonesian President on Bashir release
2006-06-18
The Prime Minister has not yet received a reply from the Indonesia President to his letter protesting about the release of Abu Bakar Bashir.

John Howard formally complained to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono last week about the release of the Muslim cleric and demanded that restrictions be placed on him.

Mr Howard says he has not received an answer yet.

But he has told Channel Nine he will discuss the issue when he meets the Indonesia leader soon.

"I'll be communicating to the President in person when I see him," he said.

"The anger of the Australian community, particularly those associated with people who died in Bali in 2002 - I mean this man although he was not directly involved - he's the spiritual leader of an organisation that gave a general benediction to the whole event."

#3  Does Australia have the legal wherewithal to kill people it suspects of being a terrorist threat on foreign soil?

I know it has the moral authority and ability, i was just wondering how difficult the decision has been for john howard to let this fucker walk around preaching victory and jihad after speaking to the people he is responsible for after bali.
