Re: Old fashioned (Australian) justice for terrorist accused
I saw the interview with Michael Mori too. I thought he was very candid and spoke very well - especially when he said that the only way that David Hicks will see the inside of a court room is when the US can guarantee a guilty verdict, as they stand to lose too much face if he is found innocent. He also stated that if he were tried in a US military court martial tribunal, as would normally be the case, the case would be dismissed. Interesting huh? It makes me mad that we are content to sit by and allow this to happen. Why doesn't the Australian government bring pressure to bear on the US to try David Hicks? Why do we allow this kangaroo-court process to occur? Are we that afraid of the US?
