... and our beloved Prime Minister John Howard (the lying rodent, as described by a Senator from his own party) is perfectly happy to see the US hold Australian citizen David Hicks for five years without any form of trial, and only a vague possibiity of being tried by one of these jacked-up "military commissions" at some time in the future.

I think Johnny actually lies in bed at night giggling to himself at the prospect of Hicks' being found guilty by one of these kangaroo courts (that's appropriate, ay least!) so John can trumpet to the world how right he is to be supporting the war on terror so enthusiastically.
