An opportunity to have your say on the US handling of David Hicks:

I agree with Bazz on this one. David Hicks is a prisoner of war and the usual justice system doesnt really apply to him. Maybe he could be tried with treason. Usually the penalities for treason are pretty severe. Could his supporters handle those severe penalities if he was tried and found guilty.

The Americans could let him go back to Afganistan but then he may join the enemy and take up arms against them again they cant be sure about that.

The letters his stepmother handed in to the authorities when he was first captured that he had sent to her about his conversion to Islam and fighting to bring Islam to the world were fairly incriminating.
She said later that she wouldnt have handed them in if she'd realised how damaging to his case they were but she was confused in the beginning when the media frenzy first started.

David Hicks - people, can we just move on, please! I'm more worried about women and children being killed in Darfur, AIDS orphans being recruited as child soldiers, the families of the victims of 9/11, the torture and imprisonment of journalists and lawyers in China and young Australians about to be executed in Indonesia.

Ozgirl
little buddy
I didnt know you had your own forums going. No wonder why I have not heard from you.

Trial Wendy?Ill look it up and get back to you..

Nice to see you Wendy.:)

lil b
ha ha just kidding
got u back.
Just google it. I was sure uSA were bring him to trial?
I dont know really Ozgirl its a difficult one.

They say under a war zone they are arrested and taken to a prison of war holding.

Thats being the case they dont usually get a trial it seems.

That being the way of it I suppose his only cause of action would be to say he was there on a holiday so came outside of those grounds.

I am not much help to you am I sorry.
You would know far more about it than I.
The letters apparently were clear he was there to fight so 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
He has changed his name now three times?
Does anybody know if hes still wanting to fight for Islam?
His lawyer seems a top guy.
leave it with you.
Yabbies waiting for you to help pack his wool bag so dont forget the poor liitle guy
