David Hicks has broken no laws in Australia. None! Even Little Lying Johnny Howard has said that two or three times. At the time of his capture he had broken no laws in the USA or Afghanistan either. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The reason he was held in Guantanamo Bay is that it is not covered by US laws such as habeas corpus. If he had been imprisoned on US territory he would have been out in five minutes.

The charge to which he pleaded guilty did not exist at the time of his capture but was created about 18 months before he went to trial.

Hicks has been extremely foolish and his ideas might not agree with many people, including me, but neither of those are crimes. If we locked up everyone who was stupid, there wouldn't be enough prisons.

Whatever Hicks did, he broke no laws and should never have been imprisoned in the first place.

I agree with you - he was the one that got involved with that type of people - anyone that does will get whats coming to them ... in the end.

I don't agree however how they held him that long without laying charges though.

I'm with you 100% m'lady and he has got me worried. Now that he has had his wrist slapped with a wet bus ticket, what is he going to do.
Settle down and be a good boy?
I doubt it somehow.

He shouldn't have been captured, his body should have been shipped home in a body-bag


Richo Fev
No, I think he`s a dick head! Saw a tv show, where they read out all his letters he wrote to his dad while he was away training to be a terrorist......what a wanker. Plus he left his kids behind in Adelaide to go off adventuring.

However, what the yanks are doing at Guantanomo is criminal. I think Hicks has been duly punished.


PS move went well......our sea change is going great!!


qldtravelguru
I am onto this too... frankly he deserves all the torture etc that he gets

really what if he had been there to kill and maim innocent aussies in afghanistan? would we be showing such remorse for him then? I am sure the soliders wish he was hanged and i for one agree

Did I hear right?

$500,000 to bring him back?


Should have bloody left him there

OMG, how refreshing to find that I'm not the only one who is sick and tired of hearing about David Hicks and his homecoming. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. If he makes money out of this and ends up on Rove or Oprah I'll scream. Isn't there any other news worth reporting in the world or in Australia, why do I have to hear his name every single day of the week? Fade away David and live your life humbly and within the law of the country that saved you because you don't deserve any more publicity.

Feel much better now I've got that off my chest, thanks.

NO WAY.

If you play with matches, expect to get burnt.


West Aussie Chick
No way. I think he should have been charged with terrorism years ago and held in Guantanemo Bay for the rest of his life. He chose to do those things and associate with terrorists...he wasn't held against his will...so he shouldn't be allowed to come back to Australia and do his time in a comparatively cushy jail as opposed to staying in the one he was in!


Digger
No. He was proven guilty before the trial. Lets be realistic about it. It goes against our principle of innocent until proven guilty but how many times do we know a person is guilty before a trial. it happens often therefore who are we kidding.


Fozzie
apparently not.... who is he again?
