The filmmakers hope The Cove will spark a change in Japanese policy, but they'll need help from audiences willing to do more than applaud. (At Sundance, the film won the Audience Award for documentary...
...Joko Sarjono, in a Jakarta suburb. Police said the men, believed to be Top's accomplices, were making a car bomb with 500 kg of explosives to be used on the President's home in Cikeas, outside of Jakarta. Now, with Top's apparent death, Indonesians can hope that such terror plots will be the exception rather than the rule...
