John Pilger: "Put Out More Flags": The Making of Another America
John Pilger writes that Howard's Australia is increasingly resembling Bush's America. And he says: "Hicks was a drifter. In the 1990s, Hicks became a Muslim and drifted through Kosovo, then on to Afghanistan, where he was kidnapped by the Americans and sent to their concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay. Not a shred of evidence exists that Hicks fought for al-Qaeda, or is a terrorist. Yet he is to face one of Bush's "military commissions," for which torture is used to extract confessions, and there is no right to cross-examine witnesses, no presumption of innocence and no standard of proof "beyond a reasonable doubt." The Howard government has said, in so many words, that David Hicks can rot. He is a no-hoper, un-American, unaspirational. Put out more flags."Read this article from Truthout.org
