In Australia we are doing as much as possible in relation to David Hicks. His father has been the most amazing of men doing, among other things, an occupation of a replica cage that he had built, in New York, wearing fulling Guantanamo Bay orange. He has also visited the Middle East and talked with people there to understand what is going on. Just an ordinary bloke before this happened, now doing extraordinary things because the injustice of it all has offended him, but also because he is a father who loves his son. However, our Government is doing NOTHING and that is the problem. There are many Australians organising and protesting (never enough of course) but we also have anti-terrorist laws here that are a danger to those who disagree with what is going on. Light a candle, say a prayer, if thats what you think helps. I personally need to do stuff that has some results i.e. write, demonstrate, have vigils, support the families etc. And here it's relevant to say, as this is a folk song site, that there is an enormous body of songs to call on and share that do a lot of stuff on many levels from helping time go by to making a disparate bunch a unit, to reminding ourselves we are part of a strong history of dissent.
