Unlike the spineless Indian Government, which bends over backwards to accomodate the terrorists, the West has no such compulsions. If they have picked up a person for alleged terrorist activities, rest assured there is something which this person is hiding. And considering the strong human rights activism existing in those countries, no government will dare to pick up a person from the street and brand him a terrorist. So If australian govt has arrested haneef, there must be something to it. Let us wait for the reports to come in.
Another thing. Even a murderer who has been caught and proven guilty, his family will continue to say he is innocent. So let us not give much credibility to what the family says. For them haneef and the likes will always be innocent.

I went through all the posts on this topic and liked yours the most . It is the most logical one and I completely agree with you that western governments do not detain any Dick and Harry without credible information on a charge as serious as terrorism . So, there can be some link and as you said , we must wait for the reports to come in before commenting further.

What if this were to happen to you one day? God forbid. It has happened to many people while entering Dubai because they have similar names to criminals.
