You'll remember that the Indonesian government did precisely the same thing this time last year. Last year's Indonesian Independence Day was celebrated by reducing the sentence of Abu Bakar Bashir--the spiritual leader of the organization that carried out the attack, the bin Laden of Indonesia if you will--to 765 days. That's 3.8 days per victim.
That's 3.8 days per victim
At least nine Islamic militants jailed for the 2002 Bali bombings got four-month reductions in their sentences to mark Indonesia's independence day, a Justice Ministry official said.Our moderate Muslim allies at work.They played relatively minor roles in the suicide bombings, including carrying out robberies to finance the attacks and helping shelter suspects.

And we're due for another bombing soon. Three Christians are to be executed on Sunday the 20th as the only three to blame for the Muslim/Christian riots and killing of thousands on both sides in Central Sulawesi. All Muslims were granted amnesty. A complete whitewash to protect local Muslim politicians, police and army involved in the killing of Christians. Laskar Jihad ( terrorist organization that was supposedly disbanded and affiliated with Al-Qaeda) have regrouped in Papua and are training with and being armed by the Indonesian Army (TNI). God only knows what they will be involved with. Laskar Jihad killed thousands of Christians in Maluku and Central Sulawesi.
If North Sulawesi (95% Christian) and Bali (97% Hindu) and predominately Christian and animist/spiritualist Papua could leave Indonesia now, we'd be gone in a heartbeat. We support the West and Israel here in North Sulawesi and while assclowns in Jakarta are protesting against the US, Israel and basic freedom and logic, we here in North Sulawesi are flying American and Australian flags and supporting the West. I know the Balinese are tired of nothing being done by the Muslim dominated government for their security. If another bomb goes off in Bali, watch for a movement in Bali to leave Indonesia.
Bottom line. Don't spend your tourist dollars here. Boycott our country. They are not doing squat to deal with terrorism here. If anything, their allowing it to flourish.
