dont disagree with you re death penalty................but what about our great friend the USA, 35 prisoners executed last year, and 10 so far this year!!

So if an Australian was put on death row in America, for a crime committed in the USA, you would expel the USA Ambassador?

As I am sure that this thread will be closed faster than it takes a 7.62 bullet to travel 30 metres, I would like to point out that yes indeed, the US does carry out the death penalty, but not for narcotics crimes.

Also, lets not forget that amongst the 9 prisoners about to be executed in less than 6 hours there includes a young mother of two children "Mary Veloso", a Filipino maid who many believed was 'duped' into carrying drugs and a paranoid schizophrenic who apparently has no idea what is happening let alone the reasons.

Combine this with the fact that President Widodo has indicated he wants to be tough on corruption, yet there are serious questions of corruption surrounding the judges involved in the cases of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan.

The killing of these 9 prisoners won't solve Indonesia's drug problem, or indeed any countries battle with drugs.

This act is purely political.

It stinks.

Heroin smugglers/dealers = Lowest form of life.

Neither cared about anyone's parents or siblings for the misery they were going to inflict before being caught. Followed by the smart arse denial by Chan when caught and the reported standover tactics by both against the other 7.

C:mad:s deserve what they get.

I suppose the professional pilot connection is that a PPRuNer may have flown them to Bali?
