Australian woman faces execution in Indonesia for marijuana.
I really don't know if this woman is guilty or not. She claims that 4.2 kg of pot was planted in her suitcase when it was out of her sight when she arrived at an Indonesian airport. I do believe that's possible, I know it has happened to people before. Apparently pot is usually smuggled out of Indonesia since prices there are so cheap, it wouldn't make much sense to smuggle it in. And she has tested negative for all drugs in her system. The really scary thing about this is that prosecutors in her case are seeking the death penalty for her. If she's convicted, she could face a firing squad. She's only 27 years old. If you have a moment, sign this petition to save her life.

3. I signed it..it made me cry..
I was just talking about this the other night to my son who lives on Kauai and goes to Bali a lot.

Have they found the fuckers who bombed the nightclub in Jakarta in 2002?

They can't be good for tourism, either.
