An unbalanced report

I want to comment on an article by Aguswandi that appeared on Feb. 9, titled The cheapening of loyalty, Indonesian style.

Whatever his convictions, he should be able to write a balanced and intelligent report on the Aceh crisis, especially in The Jakarta Post, whose readers consist of educated Indonesians and expatriates.

As it is, the article is riddled with emotion only fit for a yellow paper. I hope next time he uses more intelligence and less emotion.
