You do not go to another country and disobey their laws in the most flagrant way that she did. She is lucky not to have received the death sentence. If her lawyers push for an appeal the Indonesian High Court just may increase her sentence.

You seem to have far more appreciation than I do for the idea of sending a young woman to her death - which is exactly what will happen the first time this girl gets raped by some HIV-bearing inmate - in a pesthole for possessing pot.

I'm hoping that if the Diggers conduct a rescue raid to free Corby, they will also take the time to kill the Bali bombers, also incarcerated there and due to be released in three years.

When people travel to another country they must be extra careful to adjust to the local customs and ways. A clever traveler will do just this and help in any way they can to make the places they visit a better place. Brave and good people do this when they visit a new place, whether it be their new neighbours, another city or another country.

Shapelle Corby is one of the many, many tourists that go to foreign countries and have no real interest in the place or it's people other than for hedonism or personal gain.
