Because the US is already proven guilty of war crimes at Abu Ghraib, and they haven't charged or convicted Hicks with anything.
And because what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Until Hicks is given a fair trial, I'll consider the US govt. guilty in the same way they're considering him guilty. Fair enough?
Gunatanamo Bay is just another Abu Ghraib. It'll all come out at some point, just like it did there. There's no smoke without a fire. Just remember that.
