I'll have to fight Jennifer Byrne, but I want to jump Andrew Denton (see Rove, that is how to conduct an interview, it's not about you). And Major Michael Mori while I'm at it.
Absolutely brilliant Enough Rope tonight that dealt with the truth about David Hicks and the US military commissions. The US government wouldn't allow their own citizens to face a military commission because their citizens have rights. Why hasn't the Australian government fought for the rights of one of their citizens to be respected in the same way? Let alone the fact that David Hicks wasn't allowed sunlight for 8 months, which is mental and physical abuse.
An interesting point that Major Mori made: if the military commissions went ahead, the people running them could be charged with war crimes under international law. Major Mori is a true man of the law, as he said, all he's fighting for is a fair trial. Why do so many not want that?
Unfortunately the people that need their eyes opened won't have watched it.
Hopefully a video and transcript should be up on the website before too long.

I'm a little worried I may have an ulcer. Been having pain when eating at work, and had pain after dinner tonight.
