Jumping at shadows : Comments

By John Tomlinson, published 17/7/2007

Detaining Dr Mohammed Haneef: rounding up so many people for questioning is hardly an example of intelligently using the draconian provisions of Australia’s terrorism legislation.

Now we find the the AFP presented "facts" to the court that are not backed up by the interview.

Haneef did not share a house with the two bombers and his sim card had nothing to do with the bombs.

Keelty must resign. This is a disgrace.

Why did the AFP fabricate evidence?

Col Rouge, after giving me a hard time for believing that the Government might have been responsible for media leaks - for which mistake I apologised - you go on: "I would suggest we should all support the governments attempts to ensure no outrages are perpetrated on Australian soil by any friend or cousin of any terrorist anywhere."

Today we learn that some of the details of a terrorism charge against Haneef presented in court by the prosecution may have been incorrect.

Did the Federal police lie to the court when they said that the SIM card belonging to Haneef was found in the Jeep that smashed into Glasgow Airport? It now appears as if the card was found elsewhere with a man charged only with withholding information.

If the latest report is verified officially, says The Age, it would dissolve Haneef's link to the Glasgow attack and the charge of 'recklessly' supporting a terrorist organisation would have little substance. It seems there are 'outrages' and 'outrages' Col.

Where do you stand now Col? A bit rouge in the face?

TERRORISM MENTIONED - KEEP HIM LOCKED UP

I don't know what the fuss is about fellows.

The guy is brown.

He has no family here in Australia.

The Government has presented no skerrick of substantiale evidence against him in Court to date.

The UK is not interested in extraditing him because the case against him is so weak.

The UK has already released suspects much closer to the action for lack of evidence and legal argument.

But he IS foreign and he IS brown AND Terrorism has been mentioned so he is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

We can turn the law upside down against those least able to defend themselves against a hell bent Federal Government.

Pete

Gee, it's so quiet.

runner, no comment from you? Leigh, you think believing that cops should tell the truth is a "queer idea"? dovif1, still happy with jailing people if Keelty says we should? Col Rouge, you think the treatment of Haneef is a "fair price"? mickijo, still happy with the "attention" Haneef has received? Communicat, you're not in a mood to "complain"? Paul L, you're still happy with the treatment of this "non citizen"? sharkfin, anybody else you think should be deported.

Not a word from any of you?

The American founding father James Madison said (23/Feb/1799): "The fetters imposed on liberty at home have ever been forged out of the weapons provided for defense against real, pretended or imaginary dangers from abroad."

How prescient were those words, more than 200 years ago?

What worries me are comments from Philip Ruddock that he wants to extend the time period that these laws apply. A continual state of fear and fore-boding is a ripe environment leading up to elections!!
