Much has been and will be written about recent raids which saw the arrest of a number of reported terrorists in Sydney and Melbourne. The raids followed a hasty change to legislation so it was a crime to plan an act rather than to have committed it. This all happens against the backdrop of other counter-terrorism legislation being introduced into Federal Parliament.
There was an interesting comment in the Sydney Morning Herald's Letters to the Editor (10 Nov 05)
A top-secret raid involving 18 months of covert operations by secret intelligence groups - and still the media are there to film it unfolding. And it's not political?

I believe that a lot of the 'dawn raid' footage was actually supplied to the TV netwtorks by the Police media unit - that will help with ensuring a fair trial, I'm sure.
