Special Edition: David Hicks tells all - Afghanistan, Guantanamo, politics, guilt, and redemption

We hope you find this special edition useful in understanding the important legal, political and societal issues in the Hicks case.

It won’t take long to read (because we live in a true liberal democracy).
