US presents fresh Hicks charges
with thanks to Andrew Bolt
THE United States has prepared fresh charges against Australian Guantanamo Bay prisoner David Hicks, five years after he was detained, after the first trial process was ruled illegal by the country’s highest court.
Two charges have been prepared, accusing Mr Hicks, 31, of providing material support for terrorism and attempted murder in violation of the law of war. He faces life in jail if found guilty, his US military lawyer has said.
The Prime Minister has welcomed what he has called the “serious charges” and has sought to claim credit for the US move to lay them.
But Mr Hicks’s father Terry has said the new charges do not make sense and are part of an unfair process designed to convict his son.
Two other Guantanamo Bay inmates have also had fresh charges prepared against them.
The charges are not considered formally filed under US military rules until a Pentagon adviser and another official approve them. That process could take another two weeks and court hearings are not expected until autumn.

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Aw, more “torture” for the pigs. With luck they will simply die of old age in good old Gitmo.

I think some journo’s live in a parrallel universe. Don’t they ever care about victims of terrorism?
This guy who previously petitioned the Queen, is now petitioning the Pope to get Dawoud released.
Someone should tell the Pope that muslims want to kill him!

Pope asked to help free Hicks
February 04, 2007 04:49pm
AN Australian journalist who called on the Queen to help free Guantanamo Bay inmate David Hicks has turned his attention to the Pope.
Barry Everingham wrote to the Queen on December 12 last year and was told last week that Her Majesty would not intervene but had forwarded his letter to British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett.
Now, Mr Everingham has written to Pope Benedict XVI, begging him to use his influence to have Hicks returned to Australia.
“Your Holiness is known for compassion and understanding for those suffering,” Mr Everingham wrote in the letter.
“Mr Hicks certainly falls into that category and we beg you to use whatever influence you have to seek Mr Hicks’ return to Australia and freed.”
Hicks, 31, has been held without trial for five years at the US military base in Cuba after being detained in Afghanistan in late 2001.
Prosecutors have recommended that Hicks be charged with providing support to terrorism and attempted murder.
