AMROZI.. with a leering sneer on his face once said out loud..

"Jews.. remember Kaybar"

If he does have his intended end as reported..I'm sure some Australians will be saying

"Amrozi.. remember Bali"

Like most Australians, I have little sympathy for these convicted terrorists. However, I think that executing them will make them martyrs in the eyes of their deluded supporters and sympathisers. To them, the bombers are war heroes and sticking them in front of a firing squad for their crimes only reinforces that.

It would be better for them to serve out life sentences in some Indonesian rat-hole prison - however, I'm not confident that this would be sufficient punishment, given the special treatment they've apparently received thus far from their jailers.

"Polycrap... remember Boazy".

Probably, but really, the people who idolise those sort of idiots will find something to 'celebrate their greatness' over no matter whether you 'vent' them or not. If they rot in prison for ever they'll become a 'religious' leader over time (I bet ya), and I think that's far more dangerous than the risk of a lesser amount of nutters with his 'official martyr picture' on the wall.

I don't support the death penalty but like I said earlier, I won't miss them.

Watching the news last night -
I've now changed my mind about
those three.

Shoot the S.O.B'S!

Excuse my language.

They're insane.

No remorse whatsoever.

I listened to the parents and relatives
of the victims.
If this will give them closure, and peace,
I'm for the firing squad.

And, these cowards proclaim they're
martyrs - and they don't regret anything,
but it seems that they're willing to kill
for their "cause," but not so willing to
die for it.

They've been stalling for six years.
And even now - more stalling.
Originally the news reports said -
"To die "soon." This changed to "In a few days."
Now, it's "In a month..."

Next week it'll be "In six months."
And so on...

Foxy, the bombers and their supporters gain publicity and cause polarisation of the Western community by delaying. Once they've been executed that's all over, so of course they'll delay if they can. I don't happen to think they should be executed at all, but should be allowed to fester in jail. The death sentence is purely a revenge killing and when anyone but a State does that, we call them a criminal...

"A US air strike in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed 47 civilians, 39 of them women and children, an Afghan government investigating team says."

Oops? Certainly no death penalty.

"One of the raids by NATO hit houses in the Girishk district of Helmand province on Thursday evening, killing up to 50 civilians, a group of some 20 residents reported to journalists in Kandahar, the main city in the south. "

Just add them to the mass graves. No crimes here. Kill as many as we need.
