Ordinary Gweilo

According to The Economist:

America has made discouraging comments about [Mr Wiranto’s] candidacy—but no Indonesian court has tried him for any wrongdoing, let alone convicted him. Golkar’s leaders, apparently, considered Mr Wiranto’s chequered career less of a liability than the corruption scandals dogging his rival, Akbar Tandjung.

Wouldn’t that be interfering in another country’s election? So perhaps The Economist got it wrong.
