David Hicks wins UK citizenship

Looks like Aussie David Hicks might have a chance of humane treatment after four years of being cruelly and unfairly treated by the American Government in Guantanamo Bay. As his mother is English and he has now been given British citizenship, he might be treated the way Blair has demanded that British prisoners be treated (ie, no more torture and return to the UK).

But don't hold your breath, as Hicks has been abandoned by Australia's HoWARd Government for political advantage.
