Jack Roche, an Australian Muslim just out of jail, hung out with Osama and the Bali and 9/11 masterminds, but back home had a hard time getting anyone’s attention:

So on July 14, 2000, Roche rang the ASIO branch office in Perth, where he was living at the time… “I said to them ‘look, I’ve just returned from Afghanistan, I’ve just met with Osama bin Laden, I’m extremely or very concerned about developments within, amongst certain elements of the Islamic community here in Australia…” Don agreed that he and Roche should meet on a day and time to be confirmed, but didn’t get back to him… Before leaving for Jakarta, Roche rang ASIO again on July 19, 2000… When he returned to Australia three weeks later, Roche rang ASIO a third time… He had a home phone number, mobile number, email address and home address of Hambali, JI’s operations chief. This was a full two years before the Bali bombings of October 2002, which Hambali masterminded. It is entirely possible that had ASIO acted Hambali may have been arrested and the Bali bombings stopped. Roche also had a landline number, two mobile numbers and two email addresses for Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who was planning the September 11 attacks on America from his Karachi hideout where Roche stayed.

Meanwhile, the BBC, which once broadcast covert messages to the resistance in occupied Europe, now takes Britain’s enemies paintballing:

The BBC funded a paintballing trip for men later accused of Islamic terrorism and failed to pass on information about the 21/7 bombers to police, a court was told yesterday… The men, accused of terrorism training, were filmed for a BBC programme called Don’t Panic, I’m Islamic, screened in June 2005.

UPDATE: Australia, Britain and now Canada:

Mahmoud Jaballah has been banned from unsupervised communications with the outside world for nearly a decade, ever since he was accused of relaying messages for al-Qaeda before the deadly 1998 African embassy bombings.
But last month, in a breach of the Egyptian’s bail conditions, a City of Toronto program for needy families installed a new high-speed Internet connection in his home.
