Which as it happens is your and my only redress against the power of the state.

This is the bit that history teaches us repeatedly of how tyrants rise to power subjugation of the law and its processes.

Its a total abomination when people are imprisoned outside of its laws and processes its all so Soviet Union god bless Stalin.

Hicks was hardly an innocent bystander. This pos went to war in these countries as a merc to kill (and for the other side), not hand out daisies. Getting off on a technicality because the yanks had done the wrong thing is a separate issue.
He was lucky to get out alive at all.

Credit to his father for fighting every step of the way. However I think they both believe their own bs about how it went.
