Above the law

I would like to commend you on your "Commentary" article Rich, arrogant, armed and above the law of Jan. 7. The article was "spot on".

That guy should go to prison (no luxury suite either) for a long time.

In Australia everybody is treated equally before the law. Here duit (money) is the law, or has been until now.

The luckiest person in Indonesia is the second president. Now he is obviously too frightened to get medical aid abroad because of what happened to Chile's Pinochet in England. There would be a lot of people in East Timor wanting to take him to the international court.

Indonesia is a lovely country. Please God, let President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono make the government what it should be -- serving the ordinary Indonesian -- and not just there to make itself rich.
