the CIA were out before the Russians left, and dont think they would have been fomenting a nascent terror group versus the Israelis. Dont know where you got that perception.

They were our "allies" when the russians were in control !!!
There is no evidence he was involved in terrorism. It is time people realised the only reason he pleaded guilty to it was to avoid torture, as he commented on yesterday.
So the ban on him making money has to be lifted.
I thought it was part of the deal for him to be sent back to Australia.
In general I agree with 'Son of Sam' type laws because I don't consider it just for a criminal to profit from his crimes.
The problem I have with the federal literary proceeds of crime laws is that:
(a) in cases like Hicks, they are applying a punishment for a matter that was not adjudicated by an Australian court (with potentially dodgier standards of proof than we'd accept here), and
(b) they don't actually require that you be convicted of the crime in order for them to apply.
There's some discussion of how they work and how they may apply in the Hicks case here:

Black september, the group that did the Munich olympic massacre, CIA reportably paid them not to hit American targets and protected some guys the Isreali's had contracts on.
Where is the proof Hicks fought for Al-Quada aside from media and government reports which were biased and proven to be factually incorrect.
Why are people so quick to condemn a man without knowing the true facts ?
With what i have read about Gitmo Bay and Military crimes against civilians in Iraq, the US forces are hypocrites and no better than the Taliban
I am certain if Hicks was actually proven to have fought for Al-Quada, he would have been executed in Gitmo Bay,
The American hick military do not take kindly to their own Aryan brothes turning on their own 'race' ....
they never paid Maher Arar one lick.compen$ation, will be a rich man
Time has proven you and this comment to be the deranged bloodthirsty whackjob, it first appeared.Take it off him, give it to victims of crime and then do what they should have done with him in the first place. Put him up against a wall and shoot him.

Murder advocate, champion of the efficacy of torture.
If Chopper Read made money and a career off of writing and telling his stories, I don't see why David Hicks can't.
Chopper's contained a lot of fiction and licence with the truth (if you could sort out what was what). Hicks would tell about Gitmo because it is sympathetic to him and plays well with the bleeding hearts. The story should be about why he ended up there, what he was doing and why he was doing it when he was captured.
Whilst he probably didn't give material support to terrorism as has been quoted today, what was he doing there?
Was he just a poor accidental tourist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time or was he some halfwit that was considered too dumb for the Army (a feat in itself) but chose, himself, to jump on any cause that would give him the greatest opportunity to hunt and kill another human being for the thrill of it?
Would like to see him take action against Australian government for not representing him to help protect his human rights.
Oops, that was whilst the little deputy Johnny was on duty and we all know who pulled his strings
Why should people be shot for being somewhere you think they shouldn't be?Whilst he probably didn't give material support to terrorism as has been quoted today, what was he doing there?
