JUST LIKE A NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP

David Hicks reckons GITMO is "like a Nazi concentration camp" except without the summary executions, rampant disease, malnutrition, forced labour, gas chambers and all of the other features making Nazi concentration camps, well, Nazi concentration camps.

His lawyers were equally damning:

"He's not in very good shape, the conditions are pretty ordinary."

Hicks's poor decision making has nothing whatever to do with the predicament he's in:

Australian Greens leader Bob Brown said Hick's fate was entirely the fault of Prime Minister John Howard.

"It's a terrible indictment of an indifferent prime minister who's so subservient to the President (George W Bush) that this has led to a shameful outcome for Hicks."

Yep, them Nazis sure hang in there together.
