I'm not in favour of the death penalty for Australia, but it's entirely up to Indonesia to decide for itself. These people knew what the law was in Indonesia when they decided to commit their crime which was utterly blatant, no shades of grey as perhaps applied in the case of Schapelle Corby.
I'm completely unimpressed by all these celebrities and warm fuzzy latte sipping advocates running their campaign for "Mercy" on the basis that the two men have 'turned their lives around, are completely reformed' etc. Of course they would behave in an exemplary fashion if they thought they might have half a chance of an ameliorated sentence.
That doesn't alter the fact that, almost certainly, if they'd not been caught, if they'd got away with the enormous profits they were hoping to make, with no consideration of the devastation the drugs would have brought to hundreds/thousands of people and their families, they'd have gone on to do it again and again.
Nicky is right. Most people are indifferent. I certainly don't care what happens to them.
