not much sympathy here... you hang around with terrorists and go to training camps then frankly... i dont care.
I have been looking but cant find anything on how much this man has cost us..he has got more legal iad than anyone I have ever heard of.and still he keeps asking for more.they should have left him in Guantanamo.do his muslim brothers help him out???.
By drawing out the judicial process, and appealing court decisions, he is gaining sort after publicity. He is a sort after prize, tool... for both the Muslim community, and the ALP. Mr persecuted who has all intentions of cashing in on his experience of what he describes as being a miscarriage of justice and abuse of powers. He and the leftards will milk it for all it's worth, because GALP support is waining.
On January 11, the day before his charges were scheduled to be laid, Dana Priest at the Washington Post published a front-page story giving Habib's side of the story.
In the March 2007 New South Wales state election, Habib stood as an independent candidate in the safe Labor seat of Auburn in Sydney.
In November 2008, Habib released a book co-written with Julia Collingwood titled My Story: The Tale of a Terrorist Who Wasn't detailing his experiences
Could it be that he is milking our justice system in order to gain more publicity?
A special plane was chartered by the Australian government (for approximately $500,000) to fly Habib home because the US would not allow him to travel on an ordinary commercial flight.
Habib has become quite the victimised celebrity, and similarly, David Hicks has followed his lead.
