Izhar al-Haque is an exception to the rule. He willingly handed his jihadi training documents to the authorities. He did this years before any prosecution or ASIO interrogation were on the horizon. Most terror suspects find themselves in the dock thanks to information provided to the authorities from external sources.

Keelty: Forget health and education, terrorists are on the loose
Mick Keelty’s Whitrod Oration is further evidence of just how clueless our top copper is, writes David MacCormack
Laming investigation displays a very unHaneef lethargy
The contrast between the handling of the Haneef investigation and that involving Federal Liberal MP Andrew Laming for alleged misuse of printing and staff allowances is stark indeed, writes Greg Barns.
Haneef case: Bully boy stuff from the AFP
At first I thought it was someone taking the Mickey out of the Australian Federal Police. But no it’s for real, believe it or not. The AFP actually issued a media release yesterday in which they claimed that there has been no leaking by them in the Haneef case, writes Greg Barns.
The Oz, Haneef and the undertow of power
There is always an undertow to public life.

Haneef verballed? It’s evidence overboard
The handling of Mohammed Haneef’s case by the Howard government and the law enforcement agencies grows more problematic everyday, writes Greg Barns.
It’s time to reconsider the laws of contempt
Yesterday was one of those days in Australian legal history which should be marked on the calendar. Hopefully it is remembered as the day when at last Australia’s justice system began to slowly creep into the 21st century and began to reform its contempt of court laws, writes Greg Barns.

Oz editor Chris Mitchell has sound journalistic values – which makes his conduct with AFP chief Bill Keelty all the more surprising and sad.
Another terror case, another leak. A pattern emerges
Oh no, not again. A News Limited newspaper – this time The Australian - is the recipient of a juicy leak in a terrorism case. This time it’s an extract from a 142 page transcript of an AFP interview with Mohammed Haneef.
The Oz, the AFP and the Haneef leak: What is going on?
What’s going on with the editor of The Australian, Chris Mitchell, and the Australian Federal Police?
