Haneef

I can't say I've been following this Mohamed Hanfeef story. I can only give so much attention to Indians at once, and my quota was filled by The Great Khali becoming the World Champion on Smackdown. But Haneef's case raises a wider point. A wider point for me to bitch about.

Even the most blatant Howard supporters (all 3 that are left) will admit that Haneef's case was handled horribly. Whether blame lies at the fault of the police, or the DPP, or the Government, it was a case more poorly constructed than a bridge in Minnesota than a bridge in a completely different location.

But there are some people who, even if Haneef was proven to be a terrorist scumbag, would have proclaimed his innocence. Haneef could have had blood and plastic explosive smeared on his birth certificate, and they'd have still complained about his arrest.

You know the type. The cliche hippy. The ones who won't complain if an Aussie is wrongfully locked up for murder, but will claim government conspiracy if a Muslim is given a parking fine.

hey'll save their protesting for Israel's treatment of Palestine (the same country that elected Hamas to government), yet will stay quiet when Saddam gasses Kurds, or when the Taliban treats women like Pigs With Benefits, or when Islamic fundamentalists blow up shit.

It's like... I'm glad you have a social conscience, but either bitch at EVERY injustice (and not just the ones involving Americans and Jews), or shut the fuck up.


Thank you.



And God Bless America.
