Hicks scores holiday.

It seems David Hicks will face the harshest prisons we can throw at him, or as he will see the situation: he’ll be rewarded with a holiday.

Suspected terrorists? Violate their rights!
Actual terrorists? Free international flight to comparative vacation camp*

I feel safer already.

* Flight dependant on the political convenience of plea.

I (didn't particularly) wanna be sedated.

"Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do no where to go-o-oh I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh."

(Methinks the Ramones were a little ahead of their time.)

Also, I've speculated that future history classes will discuss the (national disgrace) David Hicks situation more than (just another PM) John Howard. Currently on Wikipedia, John Howard's article is 15 pages long, David Hicks' is already 16.
