Age Heart Hicks

Letters in today's Age elevate David Hicks to new levels:

WHAT do Nelson Mandela, Paul of Tarsus, Bertrand Russell, Oscar Wilde, Xanana Gusmao and David Hicks have in common? Quite a lot actually.

I'm pretty sure Oscar Wilde didn't have a penchant for girls with "big tits" as David Hicks seemed to.

Thank heavens Age Readers aren't yet running the judicial system:

Who's the guilty party?

THE government is lucky David Hicks hasn't sued them for complicity in his long, totally discredited incarceration. If his assets from book sales are to be frozen, perhaps John Howard and Tony Blair's profits should also be frozen - both have been found guilty by world opinion of mass murder.

Alan Inchley, Frankston

There are huge sections of the world, whose population are illiterate and backward, and in whose opinion I should be murdered. Mr Inchley will have to forgive me if I don't much care for their opinion.
