As if the shocking and disgraceful circus that currently constitutes
the pending "trial" of Guantanamo detainee David Hicks by a kangaroo
court disguised as a Military Commission is not disgusting enough
already, we now learn in our Australian newspapers today that the USA
"prosecutors" are proposing to bring some absurd charges against
Major Michael Mori for some alleged breach of some Military Code in
his vigorous defence of David Hicks to date. Could some informed Law-
Libber please refer me to the actual text of the relevant provision
that Major Mori is supposed to have breached ? I went to hear Major
Mori speak on the David Hicks case in Melbourne last Thursday night,
and must say that, if his moderate and convincing "speaking out" on
the injustices in this case does, indeed, constitute an offence under
current USA law, then there is something HORRIBLY wrong with the rule
of law in the USA these days. But I guess we knew that already.
P.S. I f you feel minded to "flame" me for this posting, save your
electrons and don't bother. All flames will be trashed.
