#1 The horrific 2002 Bali bombings killed 202 people, mostly foreign holidaymakers, and dragged the south-east Asian region into the so-called global "war on terror".

Ummmm ... no. That distinction belongs to Abu Bakar Bashir whose name is conspicuously absent in this article, despite his need of a swift execution.

None of the trio has expressed remorse over the attacks.

All of which positively indicates that they weren't tortured enough.

A lawyer for the men said earlier this month that they were ready to die after signing a last statement reportedly vowing their deaths would lead to "hell for infidels."

Nor do they manage to admit that their acts willone daybe used to properly justify why some 90% of this world's Muslim population somehow was incinerated.

"If we are executed, then the jets and drops of our blood will, God willing, become a ray of light for Muslims and become hell for infidels and hypocrites," reported the Koran Tempo, which obtained the statement.

Those "jets" sound suspiciously like the ones that collided with our World Trade Center towers. If so, those "jets" will most likely have proven to be Islam's death knell. At least if the West's political and military leadership have one whit of common sense.

Besides the three death sentences, Indonesian courts have issued two life sentences and more than 30 other long jail terms for people involved in the Bali attacks or for helping hide the key players when they went on the run.

At least until the next Ramadan commutation fest.
