Australia "terror" doctor has charges dropped

The John Howard team strikes again. Howard never fails to play the race card and the fear card - much like his friend Bush - and despite recent denials by the Government, the supposed case against Indian doctor Mohamed Haneef has been crumbling day by day, exposing the Bush-friendly government for the scaremongers that they really are. The only issue that is a surprise at this point is that Haneef is still being detained despite the charges being dropped.

Haneef appears to be guilty of nothing more than being related to a failed attacker and being a Muslim. What a relief to know that the Coalition of the Willing (and Going) is made up of leaders like John Howard, who struggle to appreciate what democracy actually means.
