#2 What would it take to declare all these ACLU-type lawyers enemy combatants. We could hold them in an undisclosed location. Extreme heat, cold, loud music and bright lights on the so-called lawyers could yield valueable information. Most of these guys are wusses, and wouldn't last long. I am not only talking about Attorney Stephen Kenny (above), I am also thinking of that character in Portland who was in the news last month.

#3 Hmph. It seems the word "abuse" has been geeting a lot of press lately.

Attorney Stephen Kenny said he could not provide details of the abuse suffered by his client, David Hicks, because of a confidentiality agreement he signed with US authorities. But he said Hicks âhas been treated in a manner which I consider to be abusive, a serious violation of his human rights and which constitutes a criminal offence in international law.â

Uh huh. This is an attorney speaking, so always remember that "abuse" in this situation may have a somewhat different meaning than what any otherwise normal person would think.

#4 These various claims of "abuse" are just looking more and more ridiculous. The more people consider this, after the initial shock of the photos, the more they realize these claims are just crap.

#5 I've been thinking. Did they steal Hicks' stuffed koala. Poor baby can't sleep without it.
