Hicks Back for a Cameo

Remember this smiling face? Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it.

David Hicks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He's still languishing in jail under a legally ambiguous gag order. At the time he was freed under the very suspicious plea bargain, we all knew it was a political sew-up, but now it appears to be confirmed from the inside:
US Vice-President Dick Cheney and Prime Minister John Howard cut a deal to release Australian inmate David Hicks from Guantanamo Bay, according to a report published in the US today...
Unfortunately, their scheme worked pretty well and Hicks can't tell his story in time for the election. However, I'm pleased this story is getting an airing today - the electorate could use a reminder of this piece of skullduggery right now.
