David Hicks
I believe that David Hicks should have been brought to trial by now. His case should be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Most Australians hold that view, I believe, but I don’t know many who think Hicks is an innocent babe in the woods who has been unfairly persecuted.
Hence my surprise at the front cover text on the Saturday magazine of The Australian, generally regarded as a conservative newspaper.
Five years ago, David Hicks was seen as a traitor who deserved to be locked up for good. Now he’s portrayed as a freckle-faced kid and a victim of injustice. Just how did this sinner become a saint?
The magazine subs must be of the left-wing latte supping breed to produce that sort of rubbish. They are the only people I’ve come across who regard Hicks as a saint.
