Singapore Execution
Call me an old cynic but i doubt Howard's sincerity since
a) the govt merrily allowed the Balinese Nine (?) drug smugglers to be arrested off Australian soil despite being aware that they'd face the death penalty at the other end
and
b) this affair has taken the heat off the sedition law and IR law stuff.
The exection of Kim is a crying shame however and one can only hope that the publicity might help Singapore one day consider changing its barbaric laws.
