Indonesian activist's murder: Garuda scapegoated?

"JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Munir Said Thalib, Indonesia's best-known human rights campaigner, started feeling sick shortly after his overnight flight left for Europe last September. After he made brief layover in Singapore, the pain grew so intense that a doctor on board was roused from his sleep to tend to him. Within hours, somewhere in the night skies above Eastern Europe, Munir died."

The question is, who wanted Munir dead? A guess would be the Indonesian military and/or secret police. Perhaps someone in the Yudhoyono government itself. Why do I feel a sinking feeling when I read that Garuda (Indonesia's national airlines) has had its boss sacked and its management board reshufffled? The government's decision is supposedly based on commercial reasons, but is it a sop and diversion for the sake of the Indonesian public, many of whom are outraged over Munir's murder?
