[BITList] hicks

[COLIN TAYLOR]

yes, I read the wiki article.

Hicks was in Afghanistan and area playing with the big boys – did he expect to be excused because he was from Australia? did Australians want special treatment for their soldier of fortune? 

he could well have been killing Australian troops in Afghanistan. some ones grand children for example. However we can and should complain at his treatment at the hands of the Americans.  Really, would you feel the same if it was someone near and dear to you who he killed? however, I don’t suppose he got treated any differently than any one else in the conflict and circumstances. 

what action could the Australian government have taken to ensure he get ‘fair treatment. what action can the Australian government take if Australian soldiers or citizens are captured by Taliban/The Base in Afghanistan and treated ‘unfairly’? 

Hicks could have stayed in Adelaide enjoying the sunny weather!

Appears he didn’t know -- war is hell and people get hurt.

  again, odd about amazon taking your money for movies but didn’t deliver the movies.
  I didn’t know they had movies to down load to your fire, and having an iPad I don’t  bother about amazon/kindle apps unless they are free.


Well we don't know what he was doing at the time that he was 'captured' and handed over to the Americans for $1,000 Us.

However we can and should complain at his treatment at the hands of the Americans.

Read the book, get it from your local Library.

If the article doesn't interest you at least read the last paragraph.

The man is an Australian and his Government didn't take any action to protect him from torture. 

They have even changed Australian law to keep after him.

I fear that Assange will go the same way.
