BALI REVISITED

BALI REVISITED

Indonesian Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir gets off lightly, 2.5 years for his proven contribution to the Bali bombings which killed 202 tourists in 2002:

"The defendant has been proven legally and convincingly to have committed the crime of evil conspiracy that caused fire that left other people dead," chief judge Soedarto said.
So how does that translate to the mild sentencing? Have things really changed in Indonesia?

UPDATE: Disappointed reactions all round, especially in Australia and the USA.
