If one can believe that Kafeel a student of above average caliber can be a terrorist, then one can also buy my version of story:
Kafeel was befriended by religious zealots, however he was averse to their intentions.
The plot at London & Glasgow failed attempts are a façade and were planned to be a farce to create panic in public.
Meanwhile Kafeels’ friend had planned for an attack.On that day Kafeel was driving van, not knowing what it contained. While he was driving, his companion forced him to drive it into airport and Kafeel would not agree to it. There was a scuffle and vehicle rammed into the parking. His companion sets him into a ball of fire or may be someone else.
Probably ,those reading this blog may have a better version of this story and others may call me insane.However knowing that;
>British Police detained Mohammed Abdul Kahar and Abul Koyair only to release them later.
>British Prime Minister, Tony Blair had lied to the parliament & was lamented for sexing up the dossier to convince to go to war with Iraq.
>British Police had also detained 21 young British of subcontinent origin plotting for a large bombing, however it has not proved anything either.
There are other reasons that make it hard to believe Kafeel could ever be a terrorist.
>Kafeel Ahmed, scored 87% in his Mechanical Engineering degree.
>He was reserved student,articulate best in debates and also took part in extra curricular activities while never neglecting his studies.
>Kafeel was working on a project to improve the reading ability of visually impaired, as an expert in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Angila Technological University, Cambridge.
>Kafeel was also part of a team of professors and faculty members, which produced annual research report of Cambridge and Chelmsford universities in the UK.
God forbid, if Kafeel is really what media is reporting, there is something terribly wrong!

This post at the well-respected Larvatus Prodeo blog does a good job of gathering together bits and pieces of breaking news that the police affadavit presented to court and the record of the police interview the affadavit covers have some significant differences that will probably blow apart the prosecution case. The differences are not the kind that would be produced by innocent error of transcribers.
Will Kevin Andrews the Immigration minister, Philip Ruddock the Attorney General or senior federal police get anything more than egg on their face? They won’t even get their wrists slapped.

Dave, thanks for posting the link.
It does a good job of creating awareness!

This is the link you should be pointing to as it has more photos and discussion – the link you give was to a “reminder” I put up because nobody seemed to have noticed the original.
Fortunately, a crosspost at DeadRoo got the noticed of one of the well-known “weekly summary of Oz blogs” – the “Missing Link” posts at Club Troppo. Your readers might also be interested in a “Dr Haneef” edition of the MissingLink here.
How upset is the blogoshere in the subcontinent? (I’m assuming you are in India)
You may also be interested in an Australian blog announced here (which also has an online petition), and I’d expect some activity soon on the new site here.
I don’t want to give people over there the impression that Australian’s dont care about how Haneef is being treated. Yes, there is a lot of concern about the attack on generic civil liberties, but many of us are also concerned about Dr Haneef in particular. But still, the bulk of the population is content to be misinformed and believes the government line.

Hi dave, !
I was looking for more stuff on haneef since i am close to the epicentre so to speak and was a bit disappointed to see the note of “he must have done” “what made him act like that” etc. which seems to assign guilt to him without benefit of doubt on quite a few blogs. I am glad that at least SOMEONE is willing to be sane about it, and doubly glad that that someone is a fellow aussie!
I dont say he has done nothing, or otherwise for that matter, but it might be interesting for you to look at his initial interrogation by the Australian Federal Police here http://www.hindu.com/nic/0058/haneef.htm which IMO does not indicate any portrayal of “guilt”, and certainly not to the extent portrayed by the australian govt. and sensationalised by the media.
Also, the thing which is rarely mentioned in the media, is that the SIM card in question was given by him (this seems at this point to be the ONLY thing linking him to the alledged accused, apart from distant relationship) to sabeel more than a year ago, when he was leaving the UK.
Like I said, I would rather wait for further evidence before I make up my mind either way, but knwoing john howard, and the paranoia he loves to create as elections draw close, If i had to take a bet, I would probably say the only thing Haneef is guilty of is having the first name mohammed, being conveniently muslim, and trying to leave australia on a one way ticket instead of a return ticket ( and I can understand his situation since I have myself asked on at least 2 depressingly desperate occasions if my parents could send me a one way ticket as i was broke, out of a job and home sick).
Fortunately for me, those offers were never actually actioned, and so here I am – possibly better off, but who knows??!!
