Big enough now and we're gonna keep stirring, stirring, big enough.Australia: The United States has brought three, [alleged], criminal charges against Australian David Hicks, accusing him of conspiracy to commit war crimes, attempted murder and aiding the enemy, the Pentagon has said.
But Mr David Hicks is really just a scapegoat for the Coalition of the Killing's resource war's in the Middle East, and he's being exploited, imprisoned and tortured. A after two years at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba most people would say that was harsh punishment for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and being accused as a war criminal during a war of "some sort" in Afghanistan.
Take a pinch of white man, wrap it up in black skin, add a touch of blue blood and a little bitty bit of Red Indian boy.
David Hicks appeared to be getting on with his life exploring his wisdom like all young men and now he is no threat to anyone, especially once he had learned about the critical situation he just happened to be in 'the wrong place at the wrong time'.
Mr David Hicks has been bagged, bashed, tortured and kept in solitary confinement in extraordinary prison conditions. He never killed anyone, so who was he supposed to have attempted to murder, or is this some sort of mystery?
Curly black and kinky, oriental sexy, If you lump it all together, well you've got a recipe for a get along scene.
David Hicks was captured in Afghanistan in late 2001, then renditioned to Guantanamo Bay, and will face trial before a US military tribunal, [?] although no date was set, the Pentagon said in a statement.
Mr Hicks, 28, and another Australian, Egyptian-born Mamdouh Habib, have been held without charge at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for more than two years.
By the way, what did Mamdouh do? Nothing as well? Oh does that mean he just lingers in Guantanamo Bat until he dies, because the US failed to find charges?
Oh what a beautiful dream, if it could only come true, you know, you know.
The Pentagon also confirmed earlier statements by the Australian Government that US prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against Mr David Hicks.
Is that because David Hicks is a scapegoat for the propaganda machine, the US, and that they would choose to spare his life? Good gracious what a bonus! If you serve the war effort they will spare your life!
What we need Is a great big melting pot, big enough to take the world, and all it's got. Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more, turning out Coffee coloured people by the score.
And it follows the US will charge their enemy with indictable charges whether their true or not to demonise them like Moqtada al-Sadr and use this great propaganda to defeat them.
The Pentagon alleges Hicks attended Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and conducted surveillance of the US and British embassies in Kabul.
[Just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
Perhaps he trained somewhere but conducting surveillance of the US and British embassies in Kabul that's just 'twist' the 'spin'.
They find some person who fits their ideal profile and they just exploit them.
[War criminal], Australian Prime Minister John Howard would like a few more sacrificial lambs for his election slaughter and that would validate his excuse for his war on terror, [?], that is actually a great war on liberty and resources in the Middle East, screwed around.
Just add that to the melting pot!
Now the US are trying to exploit our election and after we told, [war criminal], George Dubya Bush to pull his head in. Deputy Secretary of State, [war criminal], Richard Armitage had a go trying to bribe us and then that other idiot US secretary of state, [war criminal], Collin Powel bought into it as well.
The Un-Australian and US calls on Latham to rethink Iraq

[Just plain rubbish fear-mongering and propaganda.]
Courtesy of the George Dubya Bush,[?], because we told him and his loser gang to pull their heads in and get out of our Federal Election.
If those fears don't work just watch the bombs go off.
David Hicks is the third Guantanamo prisoner to be charged.
"The defence team intends to fight these allegations, and that's all they are is allegations, to the fullest extent that we're allowed to and the resources that are provided to us," said Marine Corps Major Michael Mori, the military lawyer named to defend Hicks.
"It's unfortunate these allegations will never be tested in a fair and established justice system. There's just a complete lack of the independent judiciary and the independent appeals process that are the backbone of any criminal justice system we're used to. It's such a departure from fundamental fairness," Major Mori told Rooters.
Major Mori said the allegations show his client did not injure anyone.
"I think they're [the charges] a little weak and I'm wondering where the worst of the worst are," he said.
"David Hicks was labelled in the media that he's one of the 10 most dangerous men in the world and yet he's not charged with actually physically injuring anyone."
Rabbis and the friars, bishops and the gurus. We had the Beatles and the Sun Gods, a long time ago, it's true. But then it really didn't matter, what religion you chose, no, no, no.
Statement
The Pentagon statement said "military commission procedures provide for a full and fair trial," [?], including the presumption of innocence, a requirement of proof beyond a reasonable doubt to secure a conviction and an opportunity to present evidence and call witnesses. [?]
[Again, just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
Critics have noted the entire process is controlled by the Defence Department, including the appointment of the panel that will hear the case and a review panel to which any appeal would go. Unlike normal US military courts, there is no right to appeal to a civilian court in the military commissions.
Two months after the, [USA, CIA, reichstag, call to arms, false flag], September 11 attacks, President George W Bush authorised military trials of non-US citizens caught in what he calls the global war on terrorism.
[Just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
Mick and Lady Faithfull, lord and Mrs Graceful, you know the living could be tasteful. Why don't we all get together in a loving machine? I'd better call up the Queen, it's only fair that she knows, you know, you know.
Mr Hicks was held at Guantanamo for more than two years before being charged with conspiracy to commit war crimes, attempted murder by an unprivileged belligerent and aiding the enemy.
[Just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
The Pentagon said Mr Hicks attended Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and conducted surveillance of the US and British embassies in Kabul.
[Just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
Prosecutors said David Hicks travelled to Afghanistan in January 2001 to attend a variety of al Qaeda training camps after earlier joining a paramilitary organisation fighting for Albanian Muslims in Kosovo and an Islamic extremist group in Pakistan.
[Just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
Prosecutors said Hicks met with Al Qaeda leaders including Osama bin Laden and Mohammed Atef and performed tasks including translating Al Qaeda training materials from Arabic to English.
[Just plain rubbish and propaganda.]
In February, the Pentagon charged Ali Hamza Ahmed Sulayman al Bahlul of Yemen and Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi of Sudan.
What we need is a great big melting pot, big enough to take the world and all its got. Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more, turning out Coffee coloured people by the score....Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just add that to the melting pot!
