Mr Ruddock,
The ABC reports:
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock has rejected suggestions the plea was made under duress. "I don't know what the duress is," he said.
When you swore an oath to uphold the law and to honour truth, didn't you imagine that it would be a breach of the spirit of that law to engage in gross disingenuousness, over and over again? When you act to cover over improper legal procedures, in this way, are you not committing yourself to a course of action that should end in your resignation, and disgrace? Are not the facts of Mr Hicks' actions, which surely now will never be ascertained, irrelevant to your own culpability?
Disgusted,
