From: "Mark" 

I thought I was being facetious in the other thread about giving the Gitmo
detainees citizenship, then sending them to prison for life, only to have
them released 7 years later so they could continue in their efforts to kill
us...

Turns out I was off by about 5 years (no, not that it would 12 years, but
only 2 instead...)

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Authorities released militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir
from prison on Wednesday, and about 150 of his supporters jubilantly
greeted him with shouts of "God is great!"
The 68-year-old cleric, an alleged key leader of the al-Qaida-linked
Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, had served 26 months in
prison for giving his blessing to the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings, which
killed 202 people, most of them foreign tourists.

Bashir's supporters gathered at Jakarta's Cipinang prison for his release,
which came about 45 minutes earlier than expected. "God is
great!" they shouted.

...

"I don't think it makes much difference whether he's released or stays
in prison," said Sidney Jones, the Jakarta-based director of
International Crisis Group, noting that Bashir communicated by cell phone
with members of the militant group while in prison.

Sidney is right, if they're going to give him a cell phone and access to
his sheep while he's in the pen, they may as well release him .
