Cheney Protest 10:24 - "Free David hicks, troops out now"

In what seemed to be a monumental waste of police resources, a large number of officers, including mounted police, escorted protesters on a "march" from The Rocks to Surry Hills Police Station some 2km away.

Under the pretext of 'thanking' Australia for playing along about Iraq, US Vice President and WAR CRIMINAL Richard Cheney is coming to town to keep the pressure on Howard re more Australian troops in iraq -- the opposite of what Blair is doing. Given how unpopular both Cheney and his disastrous war in Iraq are, the rest of Australia is definitely not thankful that he is setting foot on our soil...

MORNING PROTEST: 8AM FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23 @ SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, CNR ESSEX ST & GEORGE ST THE ROCKS

I don't think there is any widely held view that Hicks is an all 'round top bloke. Any similarity drawn with Mandela is pretty weak.

The mushy headed idiots, up the arse of those that want them dead, should now be ashamed, not at their attempts to get him a trial - he deserved that, but at the Mandelaization of a member of a gay bashing racist death cult.

Morons.
