Hicks' Will Fails...

So David Hicks’ will has been broken at last by a pseudo-justice system in shambles, and one I believe that has been at it for 5+ demonic years, attacking his identity, respect and sense of right for a fair and just trial before his peers.

What we have here is not a travesty of justice: it is not a system of justice.

Rather it is a mock-up kangaroo court and bully process by a dysfunctional and hysterical system of governance and so called system of defence. There has been no defence of our 100 years of democratic tradition regarding the person and private citizen. The contrary applies.

There is no win for those that thirst for the blood of victims. And there is no need for the hysterical responses that suggest that David Hicks is some sort of proxy for all criminal behaviour that has affected Australian citizens. He is only responsible for what he did.
Clearly, his plea is not of guilt – but rather for release from the torture that he has been subjected to for half a decade without assistance from his government – for what: allegedly monitoring an old building?

I am even more angry that I was before. I look forward to his return to his home and family and the public retraction in due course once he gets his balance and sanity back. There is nothing in this outcome for us to be proud of as a nation: the poor bastard!

Thanks for trying M Mori (& co): I hope your US civilian lawyers get stuck into this farce back in the States where justice still counts for something it seems.
