This is an auction for I ALMOST FORGOT THE MOON: THE DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST AHMED ZAOUI, by Selwyn Manning, Yasmine Ryan, & Katie Small.

From the New Zealand Herald, 24 November, 2004:

"Next month, Ahmed Zaoui will have been locked up without trial for two years. His prospects for release look bleak. "This is a man sitting in prison and there is no horizon," Zaoui's lawyer, Deborah Manning, tells an audience gathered to hear a Zaoui lecture - Clash of Civilisations - delivered in absentia at Auckland University in mid October. "Mr Zaoui's case is a story about the fragility of our democracy." Her argument hinges on human rights: that Zaoui's imprisonment is patently undemocratic. Our Security Intelligence Service (SIS) won't say why it issued a security risk certificate on Zaoui in March last year and locked him up - it's classified. But Zaoui's Catch-22 predicament has fomented all kinds of reactions and explanations - a seething mix of fact with fiction, conspiracy theory, speculation and grains of truth. Here are some of them:

1. There is a terrorist in our midst. To go with this one, you have to believe an al Qaeda cell is about to set up shop in Auckland. It was sparked in December 2002 when news of Zaoui's arrival here was leaked to the Herald - a leak contravening the Immigration Act, which prohibits publicising information about refugee claims. In a post-September 11 climate, the terrorist story had, as they say, legs. Media organisations including the Herald pursued it vigorously..."
