Australian David Hicks, “the first person convicted at an American war crimes trial since World War II was freed from prison on Saturday, after completing his U.S. imposed sentence.” Hicks spent five years in detention at Guantanamo Bay, followed by a nine month sentence in prison. “He was told to remain silent about any alleged abuse he suffered while in custody.”

Once the Australian media get to talk to Mr. Hicks their is nothing the US can do. The Australian Press already has printed what his doctors have said. President Rudd has ordered him to have full free medical care and said he is under the protection of his country. Once he has recovered enough to speak about his ordeal he will speak. He did say he was tortured and drugged for 5 years. He was ordered not to tell about the torture done to him in Gitmo. Yes for one year until Bush/Cheney are out of office. Now that deal is out the window as there's a new President and the puppet Howard was kicked out of office.
