Ringtail "Col, you are no more privy to the full evidence than any of the posters here. To vehemently state that you think Corby is as guilty as sin, is simply a vehicle to promote your hard line thinking on drugs which I have observed in other forums.

If Corby is indeed guilty do you believe the punishment fits the crime? 20 years for Corby and 4 years for Abu Bakar Bashir?

Was justice served? "

As I said in my earlier posts here - in the sentencing of Corby, my opinion does not matter - that does not mean I am in anyway disallowed to express it.

I am vehemently "anti-drug" use, having seen some people die and worse some people live with the residual permanent side effects of it.

I will promote my "hardline" thinking, zero-tolerance" as the only reasonable line - for a reasonable society to adopt - or face the escallation of criminal activity which permeates a society bereft of necessary discipline (which has been destroyed by drug dependency and psychotic dillusion).

No point in comparing Corby to Bashir - at least he (Bashirt) could be said to have had a "cause" - presumably Corby was only it for the "money" - and thus was a far more cynical exploiter of misery than Bashir

Was Justice served? - you are presumptive - "justice" has not yet run its course - whether it is on is not served in the end - remember - it is not you or I who are dispensing it - it is the Indonesians - a circumstance that Corby should have been aware of as she walked off the plane to claim her luggage.

I repeat - I think she is as guilty as sin and all drug dealers deserve the death penalty - my view - disagree with it all you want but I claim and exercise my right to support it and express it - here and now and for always!
