"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

This could make things tense in Indonesia. The police are advocating charging Abu Bakar Bashir with treason. Good for them, I hope Megawati and the army and police are ready to deal with the Islamist violence that will accompany such a charge.
``Bashir is accused of treason. We have enough evidence to show that he has plotted to topple the government,'' said National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Edward Aritonang. Police commanders have said they compiled sufficient evidence to convict Bashir on charges of having organized a string of church bombings in 2000 that killed 19 people and of involvement in an alleged plan to kill Megawati. Police were recommending charges of treason, and involvement in attacks using explosives, Aritonang said. Bashir would face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.
