Prison Camps where prisoners have no legal rights under the country that hold them.
CIA torture flights to Romania and Afghanistan.
An Administration that lies to its people.
And other western countries that buy into the myth's instead of the facts.
I'm not as green as I am cabbage looking. Yes - I believe there are people who strive to undermine our way of life, and yes - we should fight to preserve the life we have; but not at the expense of the truth.
I'm waiting for more information for confirmation , but I think Australia owes this man an apology. Anything else strikes me as arrogance, an arrogance that doesn't represent the Australian people I know personally, at all.

Brilliant youtube, borrowed it since Bush was voted in for a second term and all that ...
i think Haneef is guilty. The truth can be illusive (sic). The following is from Ausie radio -
A short time ago the Immigration Minister, Kevin Andrews, released some of the previously secret information that he used to cancel the doctor's visa.
He said the Solicitor-General, David Bennett QC, had endorsed his decision to cancel the visas, and told the media of evidence Mr Bennett quoted in his opinion.
It included an Australian Federal Police trace of an internet chatroom conversation between Dr Haneef and his brother back in India, the day before the doctor tried to leave Australia.
That conversation shows Dr Haneef's brother urging him to leave the country fast - and suggests using the premature birth of his baby daughter as a reason.
Conor Duffy has been following the story in Canberra and he joins me now.
Conor what is the advice Kevin Andrews released this evening?
CONOR DUFFY: Well, Mark, as you alluded to just before, the first piece of evidence relates to a computer chatroom conversation that Dr Mohamed Haneef has with his brother, Shuaib, back in India, and in that his brother Shuaib says to Mohamed, nothing has been found out about you yet. He urges him to leave the country, and as you said, to use the birth of his daughter as a pretext to do that.
The Minister, Kevin Andrews, explained this in Sydney a short time ago, and here's a little of what he said:
KEVIN ANDREWS: Importantly there was a computer room conversation, a chatroom conversation, with Dr Haneef's brother in India on the afternoon before his attempted hasty departure from Australia.
In it, the brother of Haneef, Shuaib, says: nothing has been found out about you. And asks when Dr Haneef would be getting out, to which Haneef replied, today.
The brother asked whether he had permission to take leave, and what he told the hospital. Dr Haneef said he told them that his baby was born in an emergency caesarean. The brother told him to: "tell them that you have to, as your daughter, you have a daughter born, do not tell them anything else."
The brother then said not to delay his departure, and not to let anyone else use his number in Australia, or to give it to anyone.
The brother added that Aunty told him that brother Kafeel used it, he is in some sort of project over there.
