Howard's bluff

The current Australian Government is demonstrably the most mendacious, spiteful, authoritarian and opportunistic, ever. Even the apologists can not dispute this. As an argument, likely they will say the GWOT has required such acts from this Government and various others. Its a tough job, hard job. Yet, nice work, if you can get it.

Look at this from Howard on Mamdouh Habib;

"The reason that he has not been charged, as yet, under Australian law is that some of the offences, or the activities rather that he's alleged to have undertaken, were not criminal at the time they were undertaken, although similar activities are now crimes under Australian law," he said.

Similar. Are NOW crimes. Whatever, you little puke, or unflushable turd as someone once described him (Flush, damn you!).

So.. they didn't think of Habib's supposed crime in their last bout of fear-driven law-making: Embarrassing the f*ck out of the Australian Government and their other illegal-invasion starting buddies.

I wouldn't be surprised if they use their 'scot-free' story as further reason for tougher laws.

Can't wait.
