So, is there only one true Mohamed Haneef, or is this a man of two drastically different halves?
By day, a respectable man of medicine, a symbol of life, and by night, the bearded assailant of the devil?
Unfortunately for the Australian Federal Government and its hunting partner, the United States, both have failed to learn some key facts during their butcher-like Crusade to save all humanity.
Just because you have a beard, appear remotely Middle Eastern and refuse to wear crutch hugging levis jeans, does not mean you support a fanatical religious movement in which destruction of the western world is your ultimate goal.
Haneef, a practising Queensland doctor was "proved" guilty by association.
This is a simple and unavoidable fact for which the Australian Government owes him a great and immediate apology.
No key evidence was avaliable to justify the actions undertaken by the Howard Government. It seems aparent that Howard and Bush feel they are the Sheriffs in charge of a world police, far above the law.
Okay, so Dr Haneef's SIM card was linked to a car bombing in Glasgow half way across the globe. Shaddy yes. Means for a guilty verdict, public humiliation and execution of his professional carrier? Hardly.
Howard refuses the need for an official investigation into the matter. Well of course he does. He wants the withering illusion of his sanity as leader to remain intact.
So, lets just bring back the White Australia policy. That'd keep those damn beardies out in the first place! Don't laugh, if Rudd fails to win the next election it might just happen.

Sadly I fear that a case such as this will not be a one off. As anti-terror laws have been tightened the new attitude seems to be a presumption of guilt. Recently in a discussion in one of my classes one person commented that they want to be safe and if that means that a few innocent people must suffer for it then so be it. Individuals rights appear to be diminishing in all areas under the present government, one only needs to look at the work choices policy to find another example of this.
