Don't you think it's kind of silly though? I mean, a crime like that, it could be pretty easy to be framed/innocent and end up being killed for such a petty, victimless crime.....Frightening if you're a foreigner.
I mean, that could have been planted by someone in the airport.....If you wanted to murder someone, shit, just give 'em a kilo of marijuana and a ticket to Indonesia, the government there will take care of it.
...It's a bit extreme to have a death penalty for that....Life in prison is bad enough to deter criminals.[/quote:9c95b]
I think its extreme ONLY because I come from this country. But we allow women to achieve incredible stature in this country - something someone from the middle east might look at and say "what the fuck is going on here" -
Yes it sucks that this person - if this story is true - may well be executed, and this persons home country has nothing they can do beyond diplomatic intervention.

I guess the US forget the part where it was supposed to get Saddams signature to allow them to go to war and overthrow his government. Silly us. Next time well give you a call to make sure we're doing things the right way.
