In Guantanamo, Hicks had signed a statement written by American military investigators which read, in part, "I believe that al-Qaeda camps provided a great opportunity for Muslims like myself from all over the world to train for military operations and Jihad. I knew after six months that I was receiving training from al-Qaeda, who had declared war on numerous countries and peoples.

Ya gotta love Bobby Brown. Watch him now, he's going down. All the way to the irrational, treasonous & suicidal dhimmitude of PC Leftard Marxist parody. What a mediocre disingenuous parody of a moral vanity driven, mental and moral gymnastic phony. He has nothing to offer but his mediocrity and apparently being a gay environmentalist makes one an oracle. drsanity blogspot com thepeoplescube com danielpipes com jihadwatch com

Hicks was 'captured' not arrested. He was lucky not to be shot. He was a prisoner of war. What a loser !

If too late sorry
