MickL,

It seems as though you don't want facts to get in the way of a good story. Latham resigned months ago, so obviously it was not he who was briefed by ASIO. So, if there was no good reason for this bloke's deportation, why did the ALP not protest it?

Because they didn't consider it politically expedient. And it wasn't that bad a joke. Of course it was made in the climate of his book
and he still is a member of the ALP, just not in parliment anymore. :p
And just because the ALP is about as useful as a one armed man in a rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time competition, doesn't mean the breifing they got was not politicised or skewed or even remotely correct. they had some pretty good intelligance that iraq was full of WMD as well.

Now it is becoming political!
