#5 Here's my solution..

Have him tried in the US then India then Afghanistan.

He serves thirty years in Marion, Illinois.
Then ten years in Tihar jail, Delhi
Then five years in General Dostum's facility in Afghanistan.

Then he can go back to Oz...

#6 Alternate solution : 5 years in dostum's first. Then, there won't be any need for further holding facilities, that's the beauty of dostum's system.

#7 Nah.. I want him broken in Marion first. Let him see his youth slip away, pointlessly.

Then suffer in Tihar.

Then, in his old age, Dostum's grandson can have him.

#9 I think Davey-boy's pop needs to have his ankles broken, too, just on general principles. I think the old man's as big a nutcase as his baby boy. Let Terry Hicks serve his son's sentence in an Indian jail.

#10 So how come India is just now getting around to this? Is there something in the works that might allow this POS to skedaddle back to the hole he came from?

#11 Is there something in the works ...

I suspect it is more to do with John Howard's reelection chances, than concern for Hicks:

Gates promises to speed Hickss trial

The Government has increased its criticism of the USs handling of the Hickss case as it acknowledges growing disquiet in the community over the treatment of the Muslim convert, who has been detained at Guantanamo Bay for five years.

Mr Howard last week threatened to raise the issue with the US on an almost daily basis.

Personally, I have little sympathy for Hicks. People who enter a country as tourists & freely take part in military activity reap what they sow.
