Free David Hicks

Where were they? They were in the minority.

The LIBERAL Party is the government Rob, and they make the Laws, and most of the Liberals didn't respond or said "No, leave Hicks to the Americans". Wilson Tuckey even said exactly that.

The guys who voted "Yes, bring him home" were mostly The Greens, The Democrats, and Australian Labor Party. All in a minority I'm afraid.

Unless somebody can show me some news clippings that say he was abducted from Australia by Coalition forces, I'd feel pretty safe believing that he went on his own to Afghanistan. While this may not be evidence in court, it is certainly enough for a public opinion. In my opinion, all his crying about his family now is is a way to try to play to the home crowd. He's hoping no one will notice the fact that he chose to abandon them in the first place. :shrug: No matter. What ever happens is going to happen. I just hope he doesn't decide that Jihad is better served on a whole continent of infidels, assuming he finds his way back to Australia. To the people that I do know in Australia, I hope that he doesn't live too close to you if that's how it plays out.

None of that takes away the FACT that he is innocent until proven guilty, and he is thus at the moment innocent.
You're speaking like he's been tried and convicted of being a terrorist. What part of "ALLEGATION" makes you think it means 'FACT'?

No. Until he's released or brought to trial.

The case moves on, and it appears that David has begun his court appearances. He's pleaded guilty, and if convicted will serve his sentence in Australia.
