From news.com.au

Hicks confirmed under oath that he had trained with al-Qaeda.

And that,ladies and gentlemen,is that. David Hicks admitted he entered a terrorist cell, trained with terrorists, met Bin Laden and took up arms against his own people

He was not a “misunderstood little boy” he was not “misguided”, he is and was a terrorist, and speaking as an Australian citizen, I do not want him back on our soil.

Unfortunately, I have little say in the matter.

Note: for those bleating about poor David Hicks and his “rights” and the Geneva Convention, let me ask you something.

If you feel so strongly about the Conventions…why aren’t you up in arms about Iran’s violations?? About its dismal human rights “record”?

About it’s committing an act of WAR by kidnapping British soldiers who were in Iraqi waters??

About them using the soldiers as bargaining chips against the UN? Incidentally, that’s another thing…the British soldiers were on a UN mandated mission

So, where are the protests?? The memes? The ardent yelling and chest thumping to have these innocents released???

Where are Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan and the other “guardians of democracy and protectors of the truth”?

Why the deafening silence???

Oh yeah, silly me, I forgot.

Nothing’s a crime unless it’s committed by the United States of America

3. Yeah and he won’t be able to whine and cry about his treatment anymore - 18 investigations by the aussies and 2 military investigations by the U.S. which turned up nothing shows he was crying wolf.
