Double standard it seems. -------------------------------- Outrage over Bali bomb cleric's jail release ACHMAD SUKARSONO IN JAKARTA THE radical Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Bashir walked out of a Jakarta jail yesterday after serving 26 months for links to the 2002 Bali bombings, and called on jubilant supporters to join forces to help the spread of Islamic law. Australia's premier said millions of his citizens would be extremely disappointed by the release and a United States embassy spokesman said there was cause for concern. Wearing his trademark white skullcap and red-and-white checked shawl as he emerged from prison, a smiling Bashir said: "Let us strengthen Islamic brotherhood. We strengthen our unity for one aim - that is Islamic sharia [law]." Indonesia and other nations that had "been in darkness" could be saved by adherence to Islamic precepts, he said. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation. Bashir was surrounded by supporters shouting "Allahu Akbar [God is greatest]" before entering a black van for a long drive to his Islamic school, once dubbed the "Ivy League" of militants. Seen by the West as the spiritual head of the al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah regional militant network, Bashir was convicted of being part of a conspiracy behind the Bali bombings that killed 202 people, many of them Australian tourists. news.scotsman.com
