Since the Subversion Law was repealed, the security forces no
longer have the power to take preemptive measures. Meanwhile, the
terrorist actions continue. Actually, what we need is a legal
system under which we can take preemptive measures, including
repressive actions.

There is much debate nowadays about how to make
Indonesia a democratic country and at the same time uphold human
rights. This is deemed to be as important as the police's role in
guard the supremacy of the law; while the military has been
relegated to dealing solely with defense.

This is considered by the terrorists as providing a good
opportunity to carry out their evil work.

It is not enough to depend on the role of the intelligence
services in gathering reliable information, but the community's
participation is also crucial and of great benefit in the fight
against terrorism.
