The technicality which has David Hicks declared as not being a terrorist by a court martial in Cuba does not obscure the fact that Hicks trained with Al Qaeda, Met Osama Bin Ladin and called him 'brother,' hates Jews and was armed to fight US soldiers in Afghanistan. David has claimed to forget much, and so will never explain his choices. In all likelihood, under modern law, in Australia, Hicks would be found to have been a terrorist. However, when Hicks went on his 'holiday' as a tourist trained to be a terrorist the legal issues were not so well defined. The extraordinary cases of death tourism which are part of jihadism were not anticipated by law makers. Shorten has said he wants Hicks retried. One suspects Shorten wants Hicks tried under laws which weren't designed to address what he has done. Headline has porn star Sasha Grey 'hitting back' at Russian propaganda saying she had been killed acting as a nurse in Ukraine. Clearly she hasn't been nailed in her nurse outfit on this occasion. And the odds are as likely that the propagandists are Washington's acting for Ukraine, as they might be Russian.
The bloodiest battle in Roman history began on this day in 197. Severus wanted to be a memorable emperor, and wanted his son as co ruler. Albinus wanted to be emperor and wanted to live. Albinus lost the two day battle which was said to involve 300,000 troops, but probably only half that number. Severus became the last emperor to form a dynasty until the third century crisis. In 356, Constantius II issued a decree closing all pagan temples in the Roman Empire. He was a kind of Christian. He also passed a law barring anyone from buying a Christian prostitute, except another Christian. Clearly he 'understood.' In 1674, New Amsterdam became New York City. In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was arrested for Treason. Burr had some get rich quick schemes. They failed. He was acquitted, fled to Europe for a few years, and returned to NYC to serve out his life time as an obscure lawyer. In 1847, the first group of rescuers reached the Donner Party. They had headed West in 1846 for California along a new route. It should have taken six months, but took some two years and some of the party had resorted to cannibalism. It was another few more years before the '49ers found gold. In 1859, Daniel Sickles, a Tamany Hall Democrat was acquitted of killing a district attorney (who happened to be Francis Scott Key's son) on the grounds Key was having an affair with Sickles' young wife. Seven years earlier, 33 yo Sickles had married the 15 yo who spoke five languages. Sickles pleaded temporary insanity. The first time such a defence had been successfully laid. In 1878, Thomas Edison patented the Phonograph. And the world kept turning. In 1942, 250 Japanese planes attacked Darwin.
2014
A momentous day, where former ALP parliamentary member and union leader Craig Thomson has been convicted of misusing union funds for whore-ing and inappropriate personal use. Apparently it was felt that his use of a union credit card to access porn in hotels was ok by members. That is how they expect their union dues to be spent. Also today, Peter Slipper's case is being heard. Queen Mary 2 docks in Sydney, as a powerful electrical storm approaches. Flannery said it would never rain again. It wasn't the only thing he got wrong.
Today is a momentous day. Copernicus, Merle Oberon, Lee Marvin, Smokey Robinson, Seal and Lisa McCune were born on this day, providing eternal entertainment value to the reality challenged Sarah Hanson-Young. Edison patented the phonograph, allowing us to hear again Thomson's heartfelt protestations of innocence before parliament, which we now know were lies. It is the day Democrat FDR signed executive order 9066 so that anyone identified as Japanese was placed in a camp regardless of virtue. And the day GOP President Ford rescinded that executive order. A day of justice. Give thanks to someone born on this day.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
