Rupert Murdoch is No Hero

David Hicks is an Australian who, after five years detention without charge by the United States government, became the first Guantanamo Bay detainee to be convicted under the U.S. Military Commissions Act of 2006, having entered into a plea bargain. In March 2007, Hicks pled guilty before a United States military tribunal to a newly invented charge of "providing material support for terrorism" and was returned to Australia to serve the remaining nine months of a partially suspended seven-year sentence. He accepted these terms to "get himself out of the hell" of Guantanamo Bay.

On the first day of his freedom, Hicks was savaged in Rupert Murdoch's newspaper, The Australian. Its editorial is reprinted below, having been amended by homepageDAILY.com
