...Indonesia. Last week, Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, the first man arrested in connection with the Bali bombings, was sentenced to death by a court in the island's capital, Denpasar. Meanwhile, a verdict is imminent for Abubakar Ba'asyir, the alleged spiritual head of JI, who is charged with treason and bombings unrelated to Bali. A conviction for the revered cleric?who denies that JI exists, although he did concede late in his trial that he believed attacks on Christian churches were permissible if the churches were proven enemies of Islam?could further enrage militants and spark more reprisals...
...Abubakar Ba'asyir Accused of being head of JI, on trial in Jakarta for treason and other charges not related to Bali Trial Status: Continuing Most interesting moment: July 15, when the 63-year-old cleric lectured the judges that all Muslims are obliged by their religion to fight "infidels" who oppress Islam...

No serious person thinks that we are in the middle of a civil-liberties crisis. We have just seen thousands of fellow Americans slaughtered by legal immigrants to this...
...mannerly. But history isn't filled with precedents in which populations achieve political change by asking for it politely, and that's the protesters' problem: What do they want, and how do they hope to achieve it? They've all but won the battle over the subversion and treason legislation informally known as Article 23. Tung agreed to amend or delete the most invidious clauses (which even Beijing didn't particularly seem to want). When the bill comes before Legco again, he'll almost certainly have to allow the kind of reasonable debate that he waved away in the past...
