Malcolm in a Middle

Australia, U.S. behave tyrannically, says ex-PM

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser has accused Australia and the U.S. of behaving undemocratically in the detention of alleged militants at Guantanamo Bay. "That our own democracies should be prepared to so abandon the rule of law for an expedient and, as I believe, evil purpose should greatly disturb all of us." Malcolm is getting on a bit in years so maybe somebody should ask him to think back to 1975 and try to recall his underhanded exploitation of the Australian Constitution, which enabled him to overthrow a legitimate, democratically elected Australian government.
