Australian Gitmo detainee tells dad he's on the brink of insanity

[Tab]

DELAIDE, Australia His father says an Australian man detained at a U-S prison camp in Cuba is "teetering on the edge" of insanity.
Terry Hicks is quoting from a letter his son, David, sent him. The letter describes long stretches in solitary confinement. It reads in part, "My entire life has become this tiny room and everything else is no longer reality."

David Hicks is a former cowboy who converted to Islam and was captured in Afghanistan in late 2001. He could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit war crimes, aiding the enemy and attempted murder.
...
Terry Hicks says he's never believed his son would get a fair trial, and says the detention is politically motivated.

Politically motivated??

Nah, not in this administration. You must be thinking of Clinton's years.

1. A few years of torture will do that to people. Maybe his dad can explain

that that is how the US taxpayers want their money spent.

2. hmmm...

"...charges of conspiracy to commit war crimes, aiding the enemy and attempted murder"

I can think of any number of people in D.C. who could better be charged with those crimes.
