John Yoo should be shot for this....
(Thanks to Tim B)
The lawyers for the Bali bombers plan to lodge a constitutional court challenge against the way their clients are to be executed...
...Lawyer Mahendra Data said that because their clients may be shot twice before they are dead, there is a potential for them to experience pain...[link].
They "might experience pain!" How dreadful. How barbaric! What is the world coming to? (It's all Bush's fault, torturing people around the globe, just because they want to blow people into bloody shreds of hamburger.)
But talk about "Western cultural imperialism" corrupting the indigenous cultures of the world. Now we got crazed Islamic killers going the ACLU route. (They should never have let in KFC.) Hey stupes, you are supposed to be MARTYRS!

I wonder if I'm the only one who sees how bizarre this story is. Indonesia! It's the Third World. They probably have a few cannibals left on some of the out-of-the-way islands. Komodo Dragons too. And now they are taking seriously the American Leftist bleeding-heart argument that you can't execute brutal mass-murderers........because it might be painful!
Probably 20 years ago people there would have been protesting because they weren't being (slowly) chopped up with a Kris.
Posted by: John Weidner at July 30, 2008 09:38 PMOK, John, I think I follow you. But your post is a bit, um, opaque.
And just whattheheck is a "Kris"?
Posted by: Hale Adams at July 31, 2008 06:42 PMIt was a sort of stream-of-consciousness post.
A Kris is one of those daggers or wavy-bladed swords they use in that part of the globe.
