"During the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit held in South Korea last week, Australian Prime Minister John Howard also appealed to his Singaporean counterpart Lee for clemency for Nguyen.'
I seem to recall that Howard expressed annoyance at the fact that Lee failed to advise him that they had already set the date for the state sanctioned killing. He's done as much as he can - Clarke's actions are also commendable but why do you condemn Howard for doing his best?
