Did you hear the new stuff he said about the 2nd and 3rd phase of the war? (biological attacks and destruction of America?). Maybe he is getting divine revelations just like Omar. But more likely our friend forgot his Islamic ways, and go the revelation that "HEY, I AM ON TV!". Did you see his big smile in that short footage where he is getting medical care? I think we will be seeing a lot more of this guy for years to come. Hopefully not though.

Captured Australian pro-Taliban fighter David Hicks is causing annoyance at the moment, as people are now registering that our legal system is not set up to deal with this at all. Feelings are not friendly, as being mates with people who may have seriously planned to blow up Rialto Towers in Melbourne is taken as an un-Australian stand. But the law's the law. Hicks is a different kind of man from Walker. Hicks comes from South Australia, has a working class background, was a jackeroo and a rodeo fan, and at age 14 in 1999 he travelled to Europe to fight with the Kosovo Liberation Army (ethnic Albanians) against the Serbs. There he discovered Islam, and took the name Mohammed Dawood. Basically he seems to be your classic brainless mercenary. (As opposed to the professionals, to whom I have no objection.) 1999: KLA 1999: Trained with anti-American Muslim groups in Pakistan 2000: Afghanistan. Trained with Bin Laden groups (maybe). 2001: 11 September + 17 days, phoned home about being off to Kabul to defend it. 2002: Beneficiary of a long prison sentence, if someone can just find the right law.

OK, I got a couple of questions: How does a FOURTEEN year old get leave his country and travel to the other side of the planet? Where does he get the money to do this? Where were/are his parents? What the heck is a "jackeroo" (seriously I've never heard of the word before)

Mea culpa, I made a total hash of the transcribing the story. Sorry, the guy is 26, so wasn't any 14 when he headed off for Kosovo. The Australian: "After leaving a local high school at 14 and working as a jackeroo, Hicks travelled to Europe in mid-1999." (Etc.) The Maquarie Dictionary: "Jackerooo, n. 1. an apprentice station hand on a sheep or cattle station." In other words, a young cowboy. (They're still around. It's a big country.)

What is a "Maquarie" dictionary please? Is that the name brand like "Webster's" or something else?

The Macquarie dictionary is from Macquarie University. It's the Australian equivalent of the Oxford English dictionary: the standard authoritative version, with Australian English spellings, and Australian words defined in the main body of the dictionary in instead of being stuffed into an appendix of an otherwise British English dictionary, as Oxford used to do. Governor Lachlan Maquarie was the man who put down the Rum Corps and started building Australia as a nation, so he gets lots of statues and things named after him. He wasn't a harder or better man than Captain Bligh, to whom the Rum Corps mutiny happened, but Macquarie came with his own army, which immediately ended doubts about who was in charge. Peace, justice and social progress grew out of muskets and bayonets held by disciplined men (and in the event, not argued with). The lesson couldn't be cleared. History and social philosophy lesson ends. Your normal discussions can now resume. :)

"... Peace, justice and social progress grew out of muskets and bayonets held by disciplined men (and in the event, not argued with). The lesson couldn't be cleared." There are some other people who are now learning peace and justice from the modern equivalents of muskets and swords. It appears OBL's days are numbered. We learn on today's news, no great suprise, that sniper teams are hunting him right now. They have a location. Happy hunting boys! Bring back some trophies as soon as possible.

I judge people by their actions -- in which case Jihad Johnny should have a very uncomfortable rest-of-his-life in a prison. He played the game, now he pays the price. NewGuy
