Good on 'em!
Nice 2 c the wigged 1's aren't all "parasites & "Bad Stewards"" (More regulation required 4 that mob in my view)
..
& what have howard's mates decided 2 add 2 the list of "flagrant disregard" for areas of the *Law?*

.. Intimidating Counsel,
on the trumped up charges of of being disrespectful 2 that psychopathic clown g.w.bush Turkey.

The truth in my view is that bush turkey et al unjustly object 2 the "spotlight" being shone on their crimes, such as torture, kangaroo courts & the propagation of misinformation for the purposes of inciting war. (*Libby* is but 1 example.)
..
*Mori* is 2 act 2 the utmost of his ability 2 ensure that in the finality, *David* receives "Justice."

Bearing in mind that howard et al operate outside the confines of the Law in certain areas, it is by necessity thereafter that *Mori* participate in the political process in order that this regrettable situation may b corrected.

*Mori* is being *True Blue 2 Oz* by being prepared 2 "Stand-Up & b counted" by putting "His 2 cents in" without fear of the consequences, as is expected from time to time on crucial issues of all "Ozzies of Age."

Lesser men would simply acquiese 2 the war criminals.

...Adam...

P.S. it seems as if this place has lost its "Google" listing.
BOO! BOO! HISS!

When David Hicks was caught in bed with the enemy he should have immediately had his Australian and British passports cancelled. Therefore no longer being an Australian or British citizen he should no longer have the rights of an Austalian and British citizen.

Send him back to his new friends in Afghanistan.

Think of your children and their children and his muslim friends threat of death to the Infidel. That means death to your children if you are not of Muslim bloodline. Save your sympathy for them not Hicks.

As of this week, all the old charges that have been parroted against Hicks have now been discarded. The new open ended charge brought against Hicks is "providing material support to a terrorist organization." After 5 years of no charges or charges that have collapsed, the Howard government has dreamt up this 'vague catch all.' This is the dubious retrospective new charge made up recently, whilst no such laws were on the books in 2001. The politicians indicate, if by some chance he is judged not guilty in the military kangeroo court, that they can still keep him in Guantanamo for life. Howard is still using David Hicks as a pawn to justify the dubious 'war on terror.' Moreover, Howard and Bush do not want Hicks or anyone else talking about the backward thuggery and torture being inflicted daily upon prisoners. Instead of calling them prisoners of war Bush's handlers changed the words calling them "enemy combatants." In this way, they could be tortured and denied the most elementary rights listed under the Geneva conventions.

The Geneva convention is a piece of paper dont rely on that to protect you.

As I said in the post above Nations with power are not going to hand their leaders over to any world, war crimes courts if they dont want to and that includes other nations besides America who may have military power at some stage.

I always knew the West would be called on to hand its leaders over to the World War crimes courts one day because sooner or later they would be threatened and they would have to do what it takes to survive in the end. I'm not necessarily talking about the present conflict. I think the worst is yet to come.
I always said they are just shooting themselves in the foot supporting the world war crimes court because sooner or later they will be forced to do awful things to survive.

It seems many people have forgotten that Hicks is a terrorist by his own admission in letters to his family and not only trained with Al Qaeda, acted as a translator for Osama Bin Laden. He also admitted he fought in Kashmir and may have taken part in the killing of Buddhists and Hindus there. India will probably ask the US to hand him over for trial on terrorism charges there if he is released. Basically, I couldn't care less what happens to the little scumbag who took up arms against his own country and rejected everything we stand for. I'm sure if the boot was on the other foot and some Australian soldier was captured by the Taliban, he would receive wonderfully humane treatment and a fair and impartial trial. Those who make claims about torture and beatings and so forth seem to use 'secret service documents' as proof that was the case, as if they were in some way privy to CIA documents. The only other 'proof' offered is the claims by Hicks himself and his fellow terrorists and their sympathizers. It's just a shame the Americans didn't shoot the little bastard at the start and save us all this whining about the 'injustice' of it all.

"This week, a lobby of judges, barristers and legal experts has accused the Howard government of war crimes,"

That is probably the same bunch of judges, lawyers and "experts" who pussyfoot around with criminal justice because they dont want to do anything to offend bank robbers, rapist, murderers and drug dealers, whilst completely ignoring the expectations of the public and victims of crime who pay for their misdirected and poorly intentioned services.

A bunch of legal tossers with more time on their hands than they know what to do with. Obviously they need their packages reviewed so they have to spend more time working and less time pontificating
