I think that’s because no one could imagine that the Gump regime would handle the matter with such astounding levels of utter incompetence and corruption.
It was like they were trying to create a shit storm.

I reckon Howard gives a LOT of rat’s arse about David Hicks… well, he does now. Quite cynically, it means votes. 3 years ago, not so much so. The jury was still out on just why the bloody hell the guy was over in Afghanistan in 2000 where he was. But after almost 6 years, the majority of Australians are now rightfully asking why charges haven’t been formally prosecuted after all this time, and by extension it’s becoming an increasing political liability for John Howard if he continues to be seen to NOT be giving a rat’s arse.

I didn’t say he wasn’t going to do a really good job of pretending to give a rat’s arse about Hicks.
