Enough is enough. PM John Howard, is playing around just to gain extra political millage. the trial for David Hicks is due to start Monday night (Australian time), this trial was not even on the calender except when the government was being attacked by every one in Australia about the lack of effort that was invested in bringing Mr Hicks back home.
So what you think Howard does? he calls up his good friend (and only friend), Mr Bush to speed up the trial of Mr Hicks. putting aside the legitimacy debate of military commission that Mr hicks will be facing, Australia is one of the few countries that did not formally request the return of its citizens from Guantanamo Bay. Several countries around the world have requested and successfully returned their citizens, some of which have been tried in their countries own legal system. Even India have returned some of its citizens, Pakistan on the other hand left its citizens stranded in Guantanamo Bay, just so General Musharraf can hold on to power without external intervention of his questionable ruling or the worsening state of the legal rights of Pakistan's citizens.
Mr Howard did NOTHING for five years, and now he is trying to catch up. Way too late Mr Howard, you should have thought of that earlier.
