Good for them. When Australian leadership is so defective as to even let 'bin Laden' into the country (and lie - call it a security zone), then anyone who exposes those leaders to be just like George Jr must be praised. Pranksters are the real patriots. Those who disparage APEC Pranksters must love incompetent leaders and liars. The only honest answer: Australian security was 100% at fault. No matter how much fault is applied to others, Australian security responsible for a vast number of world leaders failed so completely as to be considered criminally negligent.
Kill the messenger - a 'bin Laden' who exposes defective government leaders? Only a defective government does that. An honest Howard would have put every security manager up before the press to apologize to Australia for being so incompetent. And then also apologize personally for having assigned incompetent people.
Since Howard will not do that (he is too much a politician; cannot be honest), then good people praise the most patriotic Australians for exposing incompetence. Good people publicly note the similarities between Howard, George Jr, and Milosevic. Milosevic was not incompetent.
We did the same thing in America. When news reporters exposed zero security in most every airport (confirming what airport security people had been saying for years and were ignored), what did America do? Passed laws making it illegal for reporters to investigate defective airport security. Again, kill the messenger. Protect the incompetant.
A tribute to Australian security - they all but invited the real bin Laden to join them in ficticous security zone. bin Laden should have sent his ambassadors. Would it take massive deaths before Australians realize where real fault lies - Howard's administration? Is that what it takes - massive deaths - for Australians to identify their only problem - Howard's incompetent security people?
Why the double standard? Howard's people were criminally negligent. The only reason management does its job: those who are incompetent must be treated this ruthlessly.
Kudos to the APEC Pranksters. What is the best thing that came out of that conference? Exposed was the competence of Howard's people to worldwide scrutiny. Now everyone should be asking how deep a pathetic leadership cancer lies. What else have they been covering up? What Howard does to correct such massive incompetence will further define him. Prosecuting the Pranksters only says Howard is even more guilty - cannot deal with the real problem - his incompetent security people.
So tell us. How many publicly apologized for being incompetent? Zero? What has Howard done about his incompetent subordinates? Or does he just cure symptoms - instead prosecute patriotic Australians? How many security people have already been demoted? The only crime was incompetent government security people. That should be one to five years prison for putting so many world leaders at risk - by being criminally incompetent.
If a doctor performs an operation and the patient dies due to incompetence, then we prosecute. With leaders, consequences should be even more severe. Why the double standard? Pranksters have only exposed these questions to the benefit of everyone in the world. Why are some so nice to Howard's administration when incompetence was so severe?
