#1 I taken to reading the jakarta Post online. There is clearly a lot of tension between the military and police, as the newly democratic government tries to rest control of the levers of power from the military without triggering a coup.

BTW, I think the reference to police is a misquote. Anti-terrorism responsibility was taken away from the military and given to the civilian police shortly before Bali (I believe), and it wouldn't put it past the military to have facilitated the bombings to prove the new policy was a mistake.
