Militarized rather than legalized

The picture on Page 13 of The Jakarta Post, May 27, 1999, shows Let. Gen. Ghalib (disguised as a civilian) installing new deputy attorney generals -- all military men, let it be noted.

Evidently he intends to keep his office militarized rather than legalized -- not a lawyer in sight. So, sleep well Mr. Soeharto -- your financial affairs are safe from investigation, for the time being at least.
