The United States said yesterday that it was "disappointed" and "disturbed" by the 2-1/2-year prison sentence a five-judge panel in Indonesia handed a Muslim cleric for conspiracy in the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 persons, including seven Americans.

Bashir had faced the death penalty over the Marriott bombing, in which 12 persons died. He also was accused of inciting his followers to carry out terrorist attacks.

What did you expect from an Islamic/Muslim country?? Especially Indonesia?? A hard-line position on Al Qaeda and its twisted Muslim goons and terrorists??

Could this be another precedent for the SCOTUS ?
