*Ø* Fair trial? Hicks's military lawyer has doubts

This army man must have balls of steel: Major Michael Mori, American military lawyer for Australian POW David Hicks (left), has bravely expressed his reservations that Hicks will get a fair trial from the Americans.

"The defence team intends to fight these allegations, and that's all they are is allegations, to the fullest extent that we're allowed to and the resources that are provided to us," Major Mori told Reuters.

"It's unfortunate these allegations will never be tested in a fair and established justice system. There's just a complete lack of the independent judiciary and the independent appeals process that are the backbone of any criminal justice system we're used to. It's such a departure from fundamental fairness."
