Well said, Hilda! As far as I'm concerned we can move all the detainees you weep for to Australia. You might want to check with your fellow Australians, though, to see if they will be welcome. All of you who are so supportive of Hilda might wish to fly down to Australia and take part in the welcoming ceremonies! Bon Voyage, I say!

It is my understanding (I could be wrong of course) that those detained were picked up on the battlefield either in Afghanstan or Iraq. Since neither country has enjoyed much in the way of tourism lately, and they were fighting coalition forces, they might (note I said might)be suspected of being terrorists. Not good guys.
