Question – Was George Washington a Terrorist?

The answer is yes, from a legal, technical viewpoint.

Morally most would argue that he was not — thats cool, but morals & ethics are grey areas as we all know.

Were the French Resistance in WWII Terrorists?

Was Mandela a terrorist?

Your ethos, ethics & morals are not right, they are just yours.

First it was the Tampa Crisis”
Then it was the “Children Overboard”
issue and the call to arms “We will decide who comes to Australia”
Next it was “I am here to protect your JOBS” – in Tasmania
This time, with Crisis engulfing crisis; this bloodied regime of Howard the menace has become accident prone. Now the Mafia of Government Policy initiatives will be rolled out (with a little bit of help from his best mate Chenny/Bush (The DUMB and DUMBER) of USA.
Can Howard also be preparing to marshal his troops to go into IRAN at the behest of the decider and the Master of Deceit Big Dick Lucifer???

Of course, you wouldn’t think David Hicks, AKA, Abu Muslim al Austraili, could be guilty of being a terrorist. Maybe if you flexed that muscle INSIDE your head and did a little research, you would find out that this kid, loser that he is, is also a compulsive liar. He exaggerated how many times he met bin Laden in the training camps and he exaggerated his role as being indispensible to knowing the travel practices of average Australians. (That little freak is probably the LAST person bin Laden would rely on for a semblance of what normal people might do.)

For a busy student such as yourself, Wikipedia has tons of references about this guilty traitor…..Just type “David Hicks” and scroll….

The answer to such questions is in who benefits. Both Howard’s government and Bush’s government would benefit.

Howard is in an election year and doesn’t want people complaining about his lack of support for an Australian citizen.

Bush wants the military commissions to continue without questions of torture etc interferring. He can keep telling people to confess like Hicks or else they will stay in Gitmo forever.

So which is it? How would we ever find out? The judge should be the one to explain his reasoning for the sentence.

If America was invaded by Mexico would I be wrong In coming to America from Scotland to help it against occupying forces – I think not then why is David Hicks guilty

Because rather than doing that he joined a death cult after they had an established campaign of mass-casualty attacks on civilians and travelled from war zone to war zone seeking out every opportunity he could to kill people.

I hope you are mentally challenged and/or completely ignorant rather than offerring such a defence for anyone who joins al Qaeda.

There is a lot of bullshit claims in the GWOT but you needing to be a psychotic extremist committed to slaughtering innocent civilians in order to join al Qaeda isn’t one of them.

Wise the F up pal.

Any notion of bringing David Hicks to Australia to prosecute him for an offence under Australian law assumes that an offence exists with which he can be charged and that there is sufficient evidence available to bring such a charge.

Relevant authorities have concluded, on the evidence available to them, that there is no Australian law under which Mr Hicks could be charged.”

Also read my previous post #52 – David Hicks – History

Following the 9/11 attacks, David telephoned his father from Kandahar in Afghanistan, to tell him he was going to help the Taliban defend Kabul from the Northern Alliance. He was captured on 9 December 2001 near Kunduz in Afghanistan by the Northern Alliance.

The Northern Alliance allegedly subjected David Hicks to ill-treatment before handing him to the US authorities. After he was interrogated by US and Australian officials onboard the USS Peleliu, he was transported to Guantánamo Bay in January 2002.

Unfortunately, the Australian mainstream media is similar to America’s – they just run with the bottom line popular issues using the cheapest/fastest source of content. So we get a lot of feeds from America. Australia is America’s newest state, but we don’t get a vote in America’s elections. Maybe it’s our convict background. ;)

The exception is the public broadcasting services, which dig deeper and ask harder questions. Funny about that.

The question is, who’s Cheney’s accomplice? David Addington?

Patrick, this is Susan Crawford. Ms Crawford, we’d also like you to have a chat with Mister Fitzgerald. A nice, long chat, with a stenographer present. About who might have influenced your sentencing decision. And please, don’t leave anything out.
