police have just officially denied that there was any connection between the bombings and the Fat Assets report.

whew. that's a relief.

Tsk, tsk. What short memories we JakChatters (JakChatterers?) have.

It was only on 23 Jun in these very web pages that I ranted (i.e., made a bombastic declamation) about the poor writing and subterfuge that Tempo foisted upon us concerning the EU flight ban of Indonesian air carriers.

For proof go to: <http://jakchat.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/111531/1>

And now, less than two weeks later, Tempo comes under terrorist attack. Is there a connection between these events? I don't know but will you now agree it behooves everyone to pay attention? For years I've been inveighing that you JC sinners should stop all your drinking and fornicating. Who will pay attention now?

That is all. And have a nice day

so, it was *you* who bombed tempo!

40 minutes ago KuKuKaChu said:
". . . so, it was *you* who bombed tempo!".

What? Who said that? I only asked if there was a connection between the two events.

BTW, are you familiar with the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution .

is that the right to bear molotov cocktails?

Listen, I am, by my beliefs, not allowed to hurt a flea. The personal credo I live by and that has always stood me in good stead is this:

"Peace on earth, good will towards men -- or I'll kill you!"

Bless you my child.

the generals are becoming increasingly brazen.
