good analysis, Qi. did u send it to the Jakarta Post. looking forward to seeing it published out there. :)
well, it's indeed ironic to see the TNI fishing in the dirty water. exploiting the bomb blast as an excuse to penetrate into the territory of civil society. i must've heard them murmuring among themselves: "we're back, like the old days, guys!"

The establishment of the 'anti-terror desk' by the Indonesian
Military on the basis of UU No 34/2004 as a reaction to the slow
response of the Indonesian police has marked the comeback of the TNI
in the Indonesian politics. Whether we like it or not, this decision
by the SBY government to rely on the TNI's intelligence service
instead of improving the Indonesian police force sent a negative
signal to the masses. The assurance given by the TNI that they will
act only as the support for the Indonesian police in its fight
against terror menace is not enough until it is proven in their
action. The long history of the military's domination in the
Indonesian politics during the Suharto period, and the fact that
President SBY himself was a military officer, cannot rule out this
possibility.
The fact that the Indonesian police has partly successful in solving
the previous terror cases is a proof that they have the capability to
do their works and duty to provide safety to the Indonesian people.
Their inability to yet solve the mistery of the recent Bali bombing
cannot be regarded as their failure to perform. And instead of
establishing the terror desk in the TNI, the Government should have
improve that capability of the Detachement 88 of the police force
that is responsible for the anti terror actitivities. The resources
in the Indonesian intelligence (the BIN) as well as those in the TNI
should have been incorporated in this Detachement to increase their
capability and not by establishing an anti terror desk within the TNI.
The establishment of the anti-terror desk in the TNI can dilute the
responsibility of the TNI as the nation's core defensive force
towards foreign threats and subsequently reduce the important role of
the police force in their effort to guarante the safety and security
of the people.
Thus if the SBY Government is really willing to take the
responsibility to assure the safety and security of its people, it
should not rely on the TNI but instead it must improve the police
force as the vanguard in the fight against terror in Indonesia.
