			<description>So, have you heard about Schapelle Corby? If you’re not from Australia or Indonesia probably not. It’s the story of an otherwise unremarkable drug trafficking trial made remarkable by irresponsible Australian media who have made journalism a profession not worthy of people’s trust. 

I don’t want to rabble on about the trial because enough has been said and written about it but boy I really need to get my two cents worth out there. I got a lot to vent! I’m mad because I was fooled and feel shameful about the views I initially held. I want to rip into all the bull**** the pro-Corby camp have served up and throw it in their faces. 

In the beginning, admittedly, I was convinced of her innocence, angry at her trial and sentence but eventually snapped out of the media induced psychosis. After a lot of reading, the facts sunk in and the shameful ugliness of the Australian public’s response convinced me I couldn’t be part of this mob so convinced she is innocent. Among my circle of friends, family and workmates etc I am of the few who believe Ms Corby is guilty, if not certainly guilty and only possibly innocent. 

One thing is certain in all of this, some Australians can be very nasty and ugly, display inconsistent self-righteousness and indignation, ignorant of the facts and blind to the hypocrisy in their own backyard and if they are the majority of the so called 90% of Australians who are certain of her innocence then it’s a worry.

So is she guilty or innocent? What facts have those who believe she is innocent digested? Not much it seems. Be honest now. Apart from seeing lots of tears on tv and reading obscenely bias, sensationalist and plainly wrong reporting in the tabloid and general media its easy to come to the conclusion that she’s innocent and get all worked up about it. The fact is those who are so convinced of her innocence were not in the court to hear all the facts.

Far from being a closed court, like those in western countries, this trial was o</description>

			<description>A Mexican woman who smuggled 15.22 kg of marijuana received only a seven-year prison term in December 2001. An Italian man was sentenced to 15 years in July last year for attempting to smuggle 5.3 kg of cocaine, a much more dangerous drug. Corby did not smuggle cocaine and the amount of marijuana she was accused of smuggling is far less than what the Mexican woman brought in. Yet, she got a harsher sentence.  Going by the Mexican woman&amp;#39;s case, Corby should have been given three or four years. ----

			<description>Now it all begins to become clear.  It appears people like Keelty were
after some self-promoting news headlines with regard to the current drug busts, when innocent Schapelle stumbled into the very thing the Authorities have finally admitted they were investigating.  

“Baggage handlers at Sydney Airport, being involved with the shipment of drugs, both from overseas and within this country, using the baggage of innocent people to carry out their task”.

They’ve kept quiet, even made claims that it wasn’t happening, all of which hasn’t been of any help to Schapelle, in fact Keelty’s statements were damning to her and he continues to try to cover what they were up to, by insisting Schapelle’s case isn’t connected.

If Keelty knows so much, how come, once again, they only caught small fry?  They never catch the big fish.   So how can the man who only partially does his job, because he only partially knows what he needs to know, make such damning statements about anyone, when he quiet clearly doesn’t have all the facts, or we’d have seen the big fish in the roundup of these latest drug busts.  But we didn’t did we?  All we can see is innocent Schapelle in prison.

The Indonesians have been condemned for this, but now I’m wondering about that.  Were they also innocent victims in all of this?  Were they misled by our Authorities desire to keep a lid on an ongoing investigation relating to drug smuggling and baggage handlers?  Did Keelty’s statements to the press also mislead them?

It’s highly likely Keelty’s evil mouth hasn’t helped and now, when, as usual, it’s way too late, Howard finally gets what all other Australians have been screaming about for months, “maybe Schapelle is innocent”  “ maybe it’s possible someone could have planted drugs in her luggage”  Maybe there are corrupt baggage handlers at Sydney airport “  which Schapelle has claimed from day one.

I think our Government Authorities owe the Indonesians and Australians an apology.  I also think</description>
