Howard under pressure - making up excuses

Howard says he doesn't want to look into wrongful detentions. His reason;

more than 88,000 people had been detained by the Department of Immigration between July 2000 and April 2005, so the 201 cases under investigation represented only 0.2 per cent of the total. more

88,000 people detained !!! My god, Australia's gulag.

Honestly, I had no idea we'd locked up that many since you know when. Shameful, shameful. And the world thought Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay were scandalous.
