The execution of the Bali Bombers - Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim and Mukhlas Nurhasyim alias Ali Ghufron, has certainly stirred-up the debate for and against the death penalty.

Most predictably on the ‘pro’ side were those who believe that punishment should fit the crime. This stance has been taken by a great many people, especially relatives and friends of the victims, in statements I’ve seen ranging from the quite reasonable, "I am very, very happy but a bit disappointed that it took so long", to the rabid "Dig them up and shoot them again."
