About a former Inodensian terrorist who has turned informant.

BUT, it also mentioned that Inodnesia has Terrorists on the run because of it's "Law and Order approach" and because it holds Public Hearings against the terrorists (which they described as an excellent informational tool) instead of letting them lanquish in Gitmo.

Hear that, Bushco?

In the five years since the first bombings, the authorities have made 300 arrests, and have held dozens of open trials. More than 100 hundred men have been convicted; three are on death row. Jemaah Islamiyah seems to be on the run, as the authorities have decimated its leadership and disrupted its organization. The secret, they will tell you, is a law and order approach to terrorism, talking to the terrorists and, above all, public trials.

"Unlike the United States, which lets these people linger forever in Guantanamo or elsewhere, the Indonesian government has tried every single terrorist suspect in open and public trials in a way that serves as an incredible public information tool," Sydney Jones explains.

The whole interview was very interesting.
