"The government has a window in which it can borrow very aggressively," says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com "because no one else is borrowing...

Southeast Asian terrorism experts expressed concern that the executions could inspire future attacks and criticized government officials for allowing sympathy for the bombers to grow as the case dragged on.
