Wrong Bali map

Wrong Bali map

I just finished reading Robert Finnegan's very critical
analysis of the investigation of the Bali bombing, which he
defined as a "dismal investigative performance." Finnegan's
analysis focused in large part on the investigator's
inconsistency or ineptness in identifying the tyes of explosives
used. I confess absolutely no knowledge of explosives and for
all I know his analysis of the explosives may be correct.

However, as an internationally published investigative
reporter with over two decades of investigative experience, it
seems that Finnegan would be able to produce a more accurate map
of the bomb area. Any high school kid would be able to tell you
that Paddy's was directly across from the gang leading to Poppies
Lane II and not north of Sari Club as depicted in Finnegan's map.
Why the map was even included in the article, I don't know.
However, it does make one question the credibility of such an
extremely critical analysis from an expert who doesn't seem to
have a good grasp of the geographic area he is describing.
