Musings on experiences of volunteering in Papua New Guinea with some gratuitous domestic social and public comment

David Hicks - well who'd a thought that?

SMH reports, "Colonel Bumgarner told ABC Radio, 'He's not overly co-operative with guards. He's a bit arrogant in hisd demeanour with us'". No way. You're josh'n us aren't ya? Not David - you mean the guy the Yanks locked up in Gauntamo Gaol for 2 1/2 years before they charged him with anything and then his trial has still not been held and by now he has been at Guantamo Gaol for 4 1/2 years and he's unco-operative? Ungrateful bugger. He doesn't know how well off he is. He could have been in Abu Graib. What's he got to complain about? 4 1/2 years in the Caribbean. Think of the exotic tales he's going to tell his grandchildren if he ever gets out.
Of course the whole experience is a disgrace and the Australian govt with the complicity and urging of 52% aussie voters is basking in the glory of having one of our own being made expendable in order to keep the US alliance alive. "There you go George, you can even have one of our own to lock up to prove what a tough guy I am." "hey wow thanks little buddy, you Man of Steel you."
