So do I. If he's not under US jurisdiction, what jurisdiction is he under? What the hell does the US Military think they are going to get from Hicks 16 months after imprisionment? He certainly couldn't provide any current intelligence. Unless they charge him, why not release him to the Australian system....it's not like Australia is a hostile country. They let the American (sorry can't remember his name) who was caught go to the justice system in his country. Not exactly a great way to treat the citizen of an ally.
