Macheath - David Hicks is there because, from the articles I've read and listened to, Little Johnny told George W. that he didn't want to deal with him. (wish I had the quotes to send you, a search on ABC archives might find it).
Why would the yanks want the expense of housing this guy and putting him to trial if they could have shipped him off to be dealt with by his home country?
probably another instance of Little Johnny not being able to deal with anything other than sticking his tongue up Gerge W. arsehole.
Oh, and us Aussies - we don't have many civil rights, not in the same way as they're actually stated in ammendments to the US constitution anyway.
