Then he should have been tried already Robert.
Mate I don't know why you're not getting it. What aren't you understanding about the onus of proof? All you are repeating as fact are ALLEGATIONS brought by the Government.
It is alleged he was in Afghanistan
Alleged he was fighting the USA
Alleged he was working for Al Qaeda
Alleged he is a terrorist.
None of this has been proven, none of it taken to court. It may all very well be true, but until it's proven in court the man is innocent and should be charged and tried, or released immediately.
May I point out that two of the three Australians to charge the US with torture, have been released with NO CHARGES laid, no trial and no conviction.
Mamdouh Habib has nothing on him.
And until Hicks is convicted, he is innocent.
You can't keep mouthing off information about him that simply hasn't been proven in court.
