Jokers Left and RightIndonesia will free Abu Bakar Baashir this Friday, "despite intense pressure from Washington and Canberra and a series of police statements indicating that new, incriminating evidence [about the Bali bombing] has surfaced." Baashir leads Jemaah Islamiyah. But it's an election year, and the Sukarnoputri government can't be seen bowing to "foreign pressure." I guess terrorist pressure is OK, as long as it's domestic.
