Amrozi, Indonesia's 'smiling bomber' has instructed lawyers to appeal against the death sentence he was given for his role in last year's Bali attacks.

During his trial the 40-year-old mechanic declared that wanted to die a martyr.

His chief defence lawyer, Wirawan Adnan said he would not argue that Amrozi was innocent, but that his client was denied due process. Any appeal must be lodged within seven days.

Amrozi admitted buying the van that was later packed with explosives and detonated outside one of two nightclubs on the resort island in October 2002. The attack killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists.

Legal experts have said any appeal against Amrozi's verdict is likely to fail, due in part to immense pressure from a government keen to limit economic fallout from terror fears.

Indonesians lauded the death sentence, and one of the country's most prominent Muslim leaders said convicted "terrorists" should have their punishment meted out immediately.

Putting on a good show for "Allah" and the cameras, but when sitting alone in his cell, things are different. Maybe he's wondering if there aren't enough "virgins" in Paradise to go around.

[I still care]

I wonder how they do capital punishment there? Hanging, beheading?

I wonder if he will still have that silly smile on his face when the sees the axe falling.

This one is still fun:

After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter bomb blast at Tora Bora, Osama makes his way to the pearly gates.

There, he is greeted by George Washington. "How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Washington, slapping Osama in the face.

Patrick Henry comes up from behind. "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Osama in the nose.

James Madison comes up next and says, "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Osama's knee.

Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe, and sixty-five other people who have the same love for liberty and America.

As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.

As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams, "This is not what I was promised!"

An angel replies, "I told you there would be seventy-two Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"

I wonder how they do capital punishment there?

In several news accounts, I read death by firing squad, which is more honorable than he deserves...
