#1 Ahem, I thought dear David was at deaths' door when we last heard from his lawyer. I guess he got well enough to apply for UK citizenship?

#2 Interestingly, the Australian media, which was pushing the poor Hicks locked up without trial by the nasty Americans in Gitmo, has gone quiet on the issue. It occured around the time of the 2nd Bali bombings.

Was a piece on the not normally reflective channel 7 morning news that the media has to reflect the views of their audience when they feel strongly on a subject.

I'll suggest most Australians would happily see Hicks rot in Gitmo for ever.

#3 The bad news: only one country in the world wants David Hicks. The worse news: they got him, too.
Very important for Australia that he meets a bad end. Make the first white Aussie jihadi, the last. Islam is making some inroads into the urban Aboriginal population, too. Give them something to think about.
