Really? Seriously? Why haven't Mick Keelty and Phillip Ruddock been dragged in front of a fucking Royal Commission, or better yet an actual Jury yet?

The Queensland Police Service says it told Australia Federal Police (AFP) officers last year there was not enough evidence to charge Mohamed Haneef with supporting a terrorist organisation.
The comments were made in a submission to the Clarke Inquiry, which is investigating the handling of the case against the former Gold Coast-based doctor.
The terrorism charge against Dr Haneef was eventually dropped.
But the submission acknowledges the AFP was responsible for the final decision on whether to proceed with the charge.
An AFP spokesman says it would be inappropriate to comment while the Clarke Inquiry is ongoing.
Mohamed Haneef's lawyer says he is not confident a judicial inquiry will reveal why the Australian Federal Police (AFP) decided to charge his client with supporting a terrorist organisation.
Peter Russo says the submission from the AFP has not been publicly released, so he does not know why its officers went against the advice of their Queensland counterparts.
"That's one of the questions the Clarke Inquiry needs to answer although the terms of refernce are fairly narrow so I don't know whether they would enter into the arena in relation to that," Mr Russo said.
