Whatever happened to due process, innocent until PROVEN guilty? {God help that journalist who stepped on Ruddock\u2019s toe, he will be the first to go!) It is not coincidental that the Bush regime also found due process to be an inconvenience. Ruddock\u2019s logic and methods reek of neo-con methods, Guantanamo (Torture) Bay and Bush regime criminal methodologies have found expression in Oz.","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2006\/09\/177702.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
