Frustrating the Process
Under Australian anti terrorism laws it is permissible to hold terror suspects for 48 hours with out charge. However the laws also it seems, give police or other enforcement agencies the ability to extend detention without cause, simply by applying to do so with a court magistrate. This process was repeated several times in the case of Mohamed Haneef resulting in his continued imprisonment with out charge for 12 days. After this time, Dr Haneef who it is alleged, is connected to those responsible for failed UK terror attacks was charged with providing material support for terrorism. Hmm, where have we heard that before?
Ah yes, isn’t that what the US charged Guantanamo Bay captive David Hicks with directly after the US Supreme Court ruled the military commissions illegal? From memory it was alleged Hicks amongst other things, sought information on the US embassy in Afghanistan. At the time a legal rep for Hicks was reported saying that particular embassy had closed some ten years prior to David being in Afghanistan.
Similarly, the charges against Haneef are just as surreal. It is claimed that Mohamed purchased a sim card and gave it to a cousin, well over a year ago, while in England. Dam that’s so evil, we are so blessed that this retrospective association is a serious criminal offence under Australian law today.
Even after the seriously evil charge of “recklessly providing support to a terrorist organisation” the court deemed it appropriate to release Haneef on bail. Apparently this angered our little Fuhrer and he had his minister for immigration immediately suspend Haneef’s visa resulting in his re-incarceration, on grounds that he is not of appropriate character.
The federal Attorney-General announced that the government may want to advise the courts on how to make decisions regarding terror suspects in future. In retaliation to Haneef’s character assassination executed by our government, his lawyer leaked police interview transcripts where Haneef allegedly gave evidence demonstrating a good character. Fuhrer Magoo said the leak was an attempt to frustrate the process. The process of finding this man guilty as charged I presume.

Mohamed Haneef is today a free man after departing Australia. Previously all charges against him were withdrawn due to an amazing absence of reality in any of the evidence. The government meanwhile determined that Haneef’s innocence was no reason to reinstate his visa. Dr Haneef therefore as an illegal immigrant, was placed under home detention.
Immigration officials then returned Haneef’s passport and gave him permission to leave the country. Minister Kevin Andrews later described Haneef’s choice to depart Australia as suspicious which therefore justified the government’s position; he said that with a straight face. Apparently to not arouse suspicion, instead of returning home to his wife and child a free man, he should have stayed here in home detention and awaited official notice of deportation.
