The media seems to have gone into a overdrive and they literally hang on to his words, even reporting that he slept, woke up, smiled etc. This is ridiculous. Don't they have anything else to cover? Good of the Aussies to let him go when they realised that there was no sufficient evidence. After 9/11, all Muslims are suspect in the eyes of the West. No wonder they are paranoid about Muslims in general. Wish the PM would give the same anxiious consideration to other pressing matters as he did to Haneef's case.

Dun blame the media.. Australian media too is following his steps.. cos its a selling story.. ppl are just interested to know wats happeneing. No Media wud run after a useless boring story which has no takers.. Obviosly this case has grbbed curiosity of readers around the world. I was in Malaysia a week ago, and they too were following his news updates in a column everyday.
