And so we come to the end of 2008 and two of the major players in the Guantanamo Bay saga are back in the news.
First we have the expiry of the control order that was placed on David Hicks when he was released from prison in South Australia – where he completed the remainder of the sentence applied as part of his plea bargain – a plea bargain that remember was negotiated without knowledge of his legal team. Again – I will be accused of supporting terrorism by bringing up Hicks, whereas the reality is that I (and a lot of others) just wished for a fair and impartial trial to be conducted in a proper judical setting.
