Time off for terrorists

Why is it that people who traffic drugs are given eighteen years in prison or even death but those that plan terror attacks are given reduced sentences.

Yahoo News

Ten Islamic militants jailed for suicide bombings on Bali that killed more than 220 people — many of them foreign tourists — had several months shaved off their sentences Friday to mark Indonesia's Independence Day.

I could understand if these men were serving exorbitant sentences such as 150/200 years but it seems that some of them are serving as little as 8 years and the most heinous is serving only 18. Drug traffickers got more time then they did. This is a disgusting piece of information. I for one am boycotting Indonesia.
