Dr Haneef and the Australian Federal Police

The Australian Federal Police have a hide to be making an official complaint about the release by respected Brisbane solicitor Peter Russo of the second interview the AFP conducted with Dr Mohamed Haneef.

This transcript shows conclusively that Dr Haneef had no knowledge of any planned terrorist activities on the other side of the world.

The AFP have been party to one of the greatest acts of bastardry seen for many years with their selective release of PART of the transcript of the first interview with Dr Haneef. Yet this group of semi-incompetents seems they will never give up.

Are they being improperly directed or manipulated by their political masters?

The AFP is crying foul because the WHOLE of the transcript has been released. Surely, releasing the entire transcript is the only fair and honest thing to do, rather than the selective quotes readily supplied to the Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews for worldwide release.

What does the AFP have to hide besides their bumbling ineptitude over this matter?

Fair dinkum, they have now earned the title of the Australian Keystone Cops with this impressive performance of dubious political intrigue, kow-towing to a Minister whose handling of his portfolio could be better performed by an untrained gorilla.

After being forced to drop the trumped-up charge against Dr Haneef, AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty must now feel he is in the twilight of his long career. You would think that he might be prepared to be a little contrite about the AFP's handling of this tawdry affair.

Otherwise, Commisioner Keelty will go down in Australian policing history by being regarded by many people as the worst commissioner the AFP has ever had.
