Laughing (BALI) bomber enrages Australia (RELIGION OF PEACE ALERT)
The Times ^ | November 15, 2002 | Tim Johnston

AUSTRALIA has reacted with outrage to television and newspaper pictures of a selfconfessed Bali bomber smiling and joking with Indonesia’s chief of police.

Alexander Downer, the Foreign Minister, said: “I think these people are so bloodthirsty. Their sort of ugly, sneering, amused attitude at the slaughter of innocent people — it’s just horrific that there are people like that.”

The suspect, a motorcycle mechanic named Amrozi, admitted that he bought the explosives and van used in the October 12 bombing, which killed more than 190. As many as 90 dead were Australians.

Amrozi, 40, was taken before General Da’ai Bachtiar, head of Indonesia’s police force, in a glass-walled office in Bali on Wednesday, and interviewed in front of a group of grinning officers, with the media looking on.

Amrozi laughed and joked with General Bachtiar. He said that he was “very happy” that the bomb exploded. He pointed to Western journalists and said that they were the kind of people he was trying to kill.

Indonesia has subsequently sought to limit the damage from the images.

“We have very special tactics and strategy in questioning Amrozi,” Major General Budi Setiawan, the Bali police commander, said.

Mick Keelty, the Australian Federal Police Commissioner, described the event as a circus, but said: “The most important thingis that those responsible are being pursued.”

Why were the officers grinning? Did they find it humorous also?

Does anyone know what a convicted mass murderer faces for punishment in Bali? I doubt it's a comfy cell and years of appeals. Curious that the bomber is so jovial...unless he thinks that he will be released?

Now Mister Downer, you have a little taste of why 70% of Americans are really pissed off at the Islamofascists and their mental deficient Islamakazis.

We lost 3,000 innocent people on 9/11/2001, and these Islamofascists and Islamokazis went into their streets to dance, shout praises and laugh at our losses.

Welcome to the real world Ambassador Downer!

Now join us as we kill the Islamofascists and their Islamokazis around the world before they kill our families and friends.

Obviously.
More evidence of how serious Indonesia is about fighting terrorism.

I suppose this could mean; "Amrozi's a complete idiot so we're playing him for the fool he is in order to get every bit of info he's got."
...Or else they're idiots too.

Target the Source! Depurse their intoxication of Martyrdom! Provide Freedom in earnest afterward.

It's Indonesia. They're Mohammedans too.

Yes, this is a commonly used interrogation technique. Most people don't understand this, but when the nice detective buys you a cup of coffee, asks you if you are hungry, and explains to you that people commit your type of crime all the time,...but it is necessary to clear up a little paperwork...he is setting you up.

Police in the U.S.A. have found this to be far more effective than electric cattle prods and bright lights.

I would think this could be very effective in this case, where the perpetrator dosn't think he has done any wrong and probably wants recognition for his efforts.

Milk him for all the information you can, guys.

Well, one can hope this little display of inappropriate "grief" may have the same results in Australia as the Wellstone Memorial/Rally had in the USA.

Open your eyes World. Time to wake up!

My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and countrymen of all those murdered in Bali by Islamic scum.

Oh, yes. Piss off the Aussies. Good plan.

Why don't these guys ever name me as beneficiary on their life insurance policies?

death by firing squad. No way! A firing squad is for military crimes! These little sh#ts dont deserve the honor.

Hanging is a better way to go...it takes longer if done right

If allah is their god, then tell me why do all the moose-limbs have to go to mecca to run around this black building and then keep bowing down to it. Sounds a little like idolatry?

"What are you gonna do with 72 virgins?"

You ask a Thoroughly Impolite question---"Islam" Cannot reward Murder & expect to be "Accorded" "Status" as "legitimate Faith"!

"Heretics" (& their families) are ONLY murdered by megalomaniacal Psychopaths!

"Radical Islam" is a DISEASE!
