Your comments on the government's decision to confine a number of the country's top terrorists in isolation, including radical clerics Aman Abdurrahman and Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, to prevent them from spreading firebrand propaganda to fellow inmates and to cut them off from terrorist networks:
Why only terrorists? Big-time corrupters should also be isolated on Nusakambangan, because both are extraordinary criminals.
Eduard Iseli
It is useless to confine a number of the country's top terrorists unless they are stripped of communication devices such as cellphones and highly paid couriers. They simply use religion to incite the people to unite, and make them drag themselves into poverty to more easily convince them of the need to fight for their cause.
