#2 The Media were all over the Hicks story for weeks with very sympathetic coverage. Then they ran a couple of those TV polls and 90% of respondents thought Hicks should continue to rot in Gitmo and the media dropped the story like a hot potato, because it dawned them it was hurting ratings. The publicly funded broadcasters may have continued their coverage. I don't know because I don't watch them.

#4 L-to-D: If the facts are on your side, argue the facts; if the law is on your side, argue the law; if neither the law nor the facts are on your side....

#5 No polite way to put this, he is screwed.

I know the TRANZIs in the UK would love to make him their own. That is why the Court over there ruled he qualified for UK citizenship. They can't have him.

#6 Rory, My law professor put it slightly differently.

L-to-D: If the facts are on your side, argue the facts; if the law is on your side, argue the law; if neither the law nor the facts are on your side....

If the facts are on your side, pound the facts; if the law is on your side, pound the law; if neither the law nor the facts are on your side pound the table. 8^)
