#1 Don't return him to Australia. We don't want him and I doubt he has broken any laws of significance here. Send him to Afghanistan. I am sure they can find a suitable place to house him for say 20 years.

#2 We don't want him and I doubt he has broken any laws of significance here.

That's the weird part I don't get. What would Australia try him for (such as what crime did he commit on Australian soil?)? He should have been dropped on the battlefield and left there as food for the buzzards.

#3 His lawyer is pissing in the wind. The only "concern from some US politicians over the lengthy legal process Hicks" is coming from a few left wing democrats. In order for that route to bear fruit, the Democrats would have to retake the House, Senate, and White House. I doubt the ANY serious Senatorial or Presendential candidate will take up the banner of freeing prisnoers from gitmo. It would be like commiting political suicide.

#4 and the only reason they'll bitch about is that it's a minor arrow in the quiver against W. They don't give a F&*k about Hicks. Nobody should

#5 One problem, Dave. You swim home.
We'll tell them to be looking out for you in Panama.

#6 The low watermark is where we tie him to a stake.

May I recommend this nice muddly little place in the Bay of Fundy? Be sure to anchor that stake with some BIG rocks, though. Wouldn't want it pulling out when the tide comes in - sh$$ floats.
