this thing seems to smell a bit of opportunism by the indonesians to link the trial and sentancing of the terrorist bashir to the trial and treatment of this girl.
How can we question a lenient verdict for this terrorist bashir but demand a lenient verdict for the girl.
as has already been noted, most of the negotiations will be done behind the scenes and the details will likely never reach the press.
beetlebrain seems to be more interested in trying to score points against the Howard government. Would agree with Yak's comment.
would probably be a good idea to put indonesia on a no-go list for quite a while.
