i'd like to know how a bag full of dope can make it onto an international flight in the first place if baggage handlers are not the ones organising it.

says something about security, could have been a bomb.

screwed up...a large political message frm australia..like recalling your ambassador and shitting down relief funds is the only recourse.

Who the hell do these people think they are? We are going to hold a hot aussie girl in jail and not let any witnesses come forth to speak for her...yeah right...that judge needs to be be dropped off about 200 kilometers out to sea....give him some alone time to think and a chance to swim back to shore

I agree.... I know that I don't give a shit.

Like that has ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT

Anyone that is stupid enough to try to smuggle 9 pounds of pot anywhere around that region in the world needs to be removed from the gene pool. I just hope that she is too old to breed when she gets out of prison... What an idiot! :1orglaugh

and lets not forget that indonesia's justice system is perfect and it makes sense to smuggle pot from australia to bali.

IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

apparently John Howard doesn't agree...

I'll bet you any money that if she was a dumpy, ugly aboriginal girl with a moustach.... the only reaction from Aussies would have been...

"Stupid Abo!"

...and that would have been it. :2 cents:

I am an Indonesian, and I live in Bali. I smoke pot in every single day that I got from you white aussie bastards. For the stupid hahahaha Corby, she's hot. Maybe someday I have chance to visit her in Kerobokan Jail.

The Indonesian government is FULL OF SHIT. Typical Third World hypocrisy. They SELECTIVELY punish small time smugglers but 'connected' big time smugglers are given a free pass. Need proof? Just check out the number of heroin addicts in Indonesia... it keeps growing and the price of smack keeps dropping.

Typical bullshit. It isn't much better here in the Philippines. If you're a foreigner or you are 'unconnected' you are seen as a cash cow and are supposed to know ALL the laws and regulations on the books. Or else, you either pay up or off to tuberculosis/skin boils-infested prison you go. Even if you pay up, you have to KEEP ON paying cuz everyone up and down the line will hit you up cuz you're running an illegal business. This is common knowledge given the recent JUETENG (illegal gambling) scandal.

I see more of that same bullshit happening here once the Revilla "anti porn" legislation passes and public hysteria builds to a boiling point.


3rd World "Justice" sucks ass--there is no such thing as "equality before the law".

she is lucky indeed.
I'll bet diplomacy will work later on and she will go back home :upsidedow

drug laws are rediculous...

Whether she's guily or not who knows... but you sure as hell live in one corrupt, primitive fucking country.

Teach them all a lesson

Riggght... and Americans are not? :1orglaugh

NEWS FLASH: People are shit all over the world. You don't have to look far to find them.

20 years for pot smuggling is ridiculous

I agreee on that :1orglaugh

hahhahaha

way ott sentence for weed they must be trying to prove something

Of course the truth is only known by the person or persons involved, but find it reaally hard to believe that someone would be dumb enough to smuggle 9 pounds and I think most people have enough commen sense to know how tough penalties are in smaller countries. If it was a pound or two I would give it 50/50. But again, people do dumb shit.

It really pisses me off that in the US we can basically tell the UN that we are going to wage war on a country whether they like it or not and on top of that shift the reasons from WOMD to liberating an oppressed nation cause we cant find any WOMD, but we always play the "we have to be diplomatic card" when dealing with these type of issues. Go look at a map. We had to wipe out Iraq so we can go crush the 2nd of the 3 axis of evil Iran. There's already an increase of news lately about how Iran supports terrorism. My point is, that if there is a substantial reasonable doubt about whether this person is guilty or even if this person did not receive a chance to prove their innocence (and I dont care what another countries policy is) the country of origin should do something about it. As a US citizen I am required to adhere to US law even when out of country, so I should be afforded the same liberties as penalties. I would never wish any harm to anyone living abroad, but what would Indonesia do if we threatened military action. NOTHING! The rest of the world is already pissed off at us, so I say if you can push one 3rd world country around, why not another. Australia supported us in Iraq, so lets repay the favor.
Would someone please call the White House and tell them to add Indonesia to to list. Now that Iraq is gone, we have room. Just tell them you have good inteligence that they are making nukes. Ah, on second thought tell em you have bad intelligence, it's been working so far..

But her defense team raised concerns about the failure of police to fingerprint the plastic bag containing the drugs or to videotape the search. In addition, a request to have the marijuana tested to reveal its source was denied.

damn! that sounds very unjust to me.

I agree :2 cents:
