All I know is that America has been detaining one of OUR people in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for almost half a decade now - Hicks, for fighting alongside Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan - and have not even given him a trial. The Australian Government has been lobbying for years to have him brought to trial EVEN in America (preferably in Australia, but we have tried both to no avail). Yet they insist on keeping him in a legal and political grey area so that we don't know what's happening to him, and so that they can do whatever they want with him.

A criminal he *may* be, but he is OUR criminal, and it is for OUR judicial system (or at least A judicial system) to decide.
