I saw that Denton interview too, interesting stuff. I am right wing yet I still think what has happened to Hicks is a joke. I've never heard a reasonable explanation for the long processing time. For me (and some others on the net) it is badly affecting the image of conservatives in the west.

I hope a lot more pressure comes from within to fix the problem before more political damage is done. Going by the alleged evidence, he is very guilty (in my opinion). I am sure that's the reason that no one gives a damn. Too late when the same laws are used on them.

Howard has put his money on hicks being guilty, so I think the books won't be so harsh on him and he would appear vindicated if anything (wrongly so of course).
