Hicks chained to the floor

I cannot believe that after five years, David Hicks is reportedly living 22 hours a day in his cell, chained to the floor.

If true, it is the most savage indictment of Mr Howard's time in office. How can Howard justify such a reprehensible action against a human being? It beggars belief that Howard can defend his position when Hicks' confinement goes against all human rights charters or fundamental justice laid out by the United Nations or any truly democratic country.

Get him out of there.

Now.

If not, history will judge your entire period as Prime Minister by this abhorrent inaction.

Well put Kevin. I cannot believe how a PM can behave so cynically towards one of our own. It is horrible.
