SEND YOUR MICE
David Hicks used to think Jews dominated the earth, but nowadays he is unable to comprehend reality:
Australian terrorist suspect David Hicks is on the brink of insanity, suffering severe mood swings and not able to comprehend reality.
Sounds like that was Dave’s problem all along. Maybe he’s run out of mice. If you have any spare mice, or know anybody in the mouse trade, please do what you can. Send all mice to Crazy David, c/o Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Three hundred kilos should be enough.

He must think Kerry will win!
Posted by: Rob Read at November 1, 2004 at 11:02 PMI haven't heard him say that he regretted what he did, or acknowledge the wrong in siding with such atrocious people against his native country. Until he does, I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

Posted by: davo at November 1, 2004 at 11:18 PMI will only believe that he cannot comprehend reality when he starts eating the mice - raw of course.

See if he can convince the locals that he supports them.
Hicks passes the time by catching mice and hanging them”
And they're just noticing that he's a few cards short of a full deck now?
Posted by: Bruce Rheinstein at November 2, 2004 at 01:27 AMMy son had conversations with David Hicks at Guantanamo. At no time did Hicks appear to be nuts. He seemed perfectly at ease as a mercenary but apparently there was a photo of Dave with UBL extant, indicating something like an interest in Islamism. Crazy? I'm told there was scant evidence of that.

But he'll only start eating mice due to torture by sadistic American guards... :-)
It's all the Yanks' fault - don't you know that?

Posted by: JPB at November 2, 2004 at 10:00 AMSome one referred to Hicks senior as looking like a Cane toad with a belly ache- they to are poison to anything that comes into contact with them- funny, the name Hicks very apt also. I just hope that David gets let loose at a bus stop in Kurdish territory we have no use for mercinaries here except for exterminating cane toads.
Posted by: Rose at November 2, 2004 at 06:48 PMI usually don't let political issues translate into feelings of raw hatred but David Hicks is different. I loathe him more than I could any Middle Eastern or SE Asian terrorist. Osama and most of his buddies were born in a theocratic state and were brainwashed from birth, I can at least understand how they turned to the dark side.
David Hicks however has no excuses, he grew up in one of the most sophisticated societies on earth and had every opportunity to learn a sense of decency. David Hicks has singlehandedly changed my opinion of Capital Punishment. I can't bear the thought of children who need corneas, kidneys, hearts, lungs not to mention other vital and valuable organs waiting on a transplant list because we're too touchy feely to hang the bastard.
Frankly 'Walking Organ Bank' and 'Unprocessed Soylent Green' are about the two nicest terms I can think of to describe David. As for David's father? Well.....maybe the IDF can lend us one of their giant bulldozers
