the bali nine
"terrorists are holding a 747 full of lawyers captive. They are threatening to release one lawyer a day until their demands are met".
well the bali nine are having their day in court. didn't take that long really. i just heard one of their lawyers on the radio talk about 'finding the truth' in court. yeah, the truth can get confused as you unstrap bags of heroin from nine people. the death penalty is harsh but it 'aint like it's a surprise to anyone for that area. it's a shame for any family to go through but if all the media attention to exactly the same place in the world and it's drug policies from the corby trial weren't enough of a warning then bad luck. cleaning the shallow end of the gene-pool can get ugly from time to time.
the strange thing is that the australian federal government were the ones onto the plan 3 months prior. they tracked the group and then sold them down the river to the bali police, who we all know kill drug traffickers. i thought they may have done so to get some bargaining power for corby but she's still there. at least she's alive. why didn't they just nab them at sydney airport and chuck them in jail? nope, the australian federal police made sure the nine would be caught in bali and in doing so signed a death warrent for them. these are fairly obvious facts yet the australian government are now allegedly saying that they won't help the bali government anymore (with evidence. what more evidence could they give 'em?!?) unless the death penalty is taken off the table. it's just bullshit lip-service to the general australian public mules who can't think past yesterday's news bites to make the government look like it's doing something for it's own citizens. fucking us in the arse while reading us a bedtime story. nice.
funnily enough the timeline of the nine landing in bali through to getting nabbed was pretty thorough. thorough except for two slightly confused periods. only small events. the actual purchase of the suitcase of heroin and then the swap of the suitcase (apparently the original product just wasn't up to scratch) for another suitcase (that means there would have been two suitcases of heroin at one stage). just tiny events really. kinda reading between the giant lines it could be said that someone got paid the right amount of 'look-the-other-way-you-soul-for-sale-biatch' money. for all the bali government's hard-lined rhetoric towards drug trafficking it's obviously as corrupt a system as anywhere else. the stupid front-line troops get killed for trafficking and the actual dealers and 'mr/mrs bigs' of the area get away no probs.

So the Indonesian Police turned a blind eye when the actual sale/handover (whatever) went down. What a surprise! (OMG - is the Indonesian Police Force corrupt, surely not).
Anyway, my point is, these 9 knob-jockeys had been successful mules before. I don't buy for one minute the "they threatened my family" line. What a load of shit.
I don't believe in the death penalty but the stakes to this game are no secret...
