It makes me so very f-ing angry. The reason why these folks haven't been put on trial is because the 'evidence' they have wouldn't stand up in a real court. But still people assume that just because they are in Gitmo that they are guilty. David Hicks, who plea bargined his way out of Gitmo is currently resident in Sydney, under10 kms from me and I couldn't give a fat rats about a "Convicted Terrorist" being in the neighbourhood. Bollocks to Malcomn Turnbull (leader of the Opposition) and Julia Gillard (Acting Prime Minister) and all those gutless, pitiless politicians looking to cover their arse.

You think that's boring? No! Cricket! Make them watch cricket. They will claw their eyes out and beg to confess. While at the same time wishing to acquire a pair of those cream flannel strides that show off one's bum to perfection. If one is so inclined. @homofascist: Darling, sorry, but… curling?
