#2 Oh Danno I need backup ... bring Kono ASAP and tell the badman to give us a continuance of at least 150 days! If you make a thing complicated well then complicated it will be. Depending on who you ask, 30 days is plenty of time and a trial sooner is a trial better! (are these not the same folks bemoaning Hicks' detention?!) It's not like he was arrested, arraigned, prelim'd, and scheduled for trial in the last month is it. So they talk to their client and he tells them his innocent path from home to a battlefield abroad. Pretty simple matter to sort if it's the truth. They'd do well to stick to the truth and the basics as the rest easily takes care of itself. Now, if the truth is ugly then I suppose you've got to prepare an act for each ring of the circus and throw them out there in an attempt to please the audience or at least make them impossibly confused about which way is up and which hand is the right. When you can't deal in the truth things do indeed become complicated and require alot of time and lawyers to "prepare."

#4 A Marine Corps major is bitching about this?
He must be real popular over at the Guantanamo Officers Club.

#5 The "Baseball Rule" should be in effect here.

1 The 29-year-old Muslim convert has been detained by the US military since he was captured allegedly fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan in December, 2001.

2 Adelaide-born Hicks is charged with conspiracy, attempted murder and aiding the enemy.

3 "This is going to be another case of moving too fast ... the defence isn't ready yet," Terry Hicks said.
(From Dec 2001 to September 2005 is 45 months)

#6 Jim, I'd rather invoke the Infield Fly rule: no matter what, the batter is still out.

Protest to the ump all you want, Davy, you're still history.
