Abstract
The December 2008 report of the Rudd government's Clarke inquiry into the aborted terrorist prosecution of Dr Mohamed Haneef in 2007 has thrown up a number of questions that have, as yet, received inadequate attention. In particular, they relate to two inter-related issues: (I) the extent of political pressure or influence, if any, that was brought to bear by members of the former Howard government; and (2) why Dr Haneef was charged with a serious terrorist offence despite the relevant Queensland and Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers concluding that insufficient evidence existed.
