[LINK] SMH: 'Concern over how AFP got comments'

[Adam Todd]

Oh please.  This wasn't a DSD/Echelon moment.  Gawd if it was, then 
the information would have been available 4 days earlier!

No, the information came from the poor guys laptop chat logs, which 
are unencrypted and stored in plain text on his computer.

No doubt the police probably discovered the laptops clock was wrong 
and helpfully set it to the appropriate date and time, ensuring that 
the evidence was accurate.

Just like the names and addresses of the alleged British Terrorists 
written into the back of Haneefs diary, strangely not in his 
handwriting and strangely in the hand writing of a police officer.

No surprise an interrogator dropped dead during this 
process.  Sympathy to his family, but his passing was probably from a 
heart or anurism attach caused by his inability to be dishonest under 
the extreme pressure of being ordered to fabricate "facts"  (Ok, I'm 
being colourful here, but I didn't say that was a fact, I said 
"probably" and there is no evidence to the contrary and seriously 
would you believe any that was!

But it doesn't have to be done at that level. Judges like Justice 
Megan Latham in the NSW Supreme Court are great at creating 
judgements with findings of evidence that was never put before the 
court orally, in affidavit, on a video, in a submission or even as a 
whisper around the room.

Corruption in the Australian Government(s) legal system is 
systemic.  The problem is people are too afraid to do anything about 
it for fear of repercussions.

Nah Echelon wasn't excited about this, too much hassle to get access 
to logs that if were obtained by such process would never have even 
rated mention in any of the processes.

Why?  Because SOMEONE ELSE will know about them.  And lets face it, 
the British would have been all out there with the Chat Logs if 
Echelon was the source :)

Note the British greatly distancing themselves from this "ongoing 
investigation"  :)
