By their Commissions and Omissions you will Know Them
by dingo Monday May 21, 2007 at 05:01 PM

We thank National Security correspondent to the Australian Broadcasting Commission (‘our’ ABC) Leigh Sales, for revealing her flagrant bias in relation to the David Hicks case. We were almost tempted to read her book, “Detainee 002 …”, until today’s extremely revealing report.

Can't Stop The Truth ABC
by Village People and I Monday May 21, 2007 at 06:43 PM

Dear Australian Mess Media I re-wrote this song for you!

Our children are very dear to us and you have lied to them all, for what?

===========================
Dedicated to ABC Australian Broadcasting Commission in the hope that these people don't keep telling lies to the Australian people using our taxes to undermine the fabric of our society.

Village People - Can't Stop The Truth

Everyone you meet, the children in the street
are swayin' to the rhythm, there's somethin' movin' in them.
There's no place to hide, so, why even try?
Can't you hear it coming your way, it's here to stay.
Truth in our walk, truth when we talk.
It's really something magic, to lose it would be tragic.
Can't you feel the sound movin' through the ground?
Truth makes the world go around.

You can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Take the cold from snow, tell the trees, don't grow,
tell the wind, don't blow, 'cause it's easier.
No, you can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Take the spark from love, make the rain fall up
'cause that's easier to do.

Movin' with the wind since the world began,
the beat is gonna getcha, beat is gonna getcha.
Truth for the blues, for your dancin' shoes,
there's truth in the way that we kiss, you can't resist.
Movin' through the trees, buzzin' with the bees,
the sound is gettin' louder, sound is gettin' louder.
Truth when we play, when we kneel to pray.
There's truth in the sound of the wind.

You can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.

On the radio, on every TV show
for each and every reason, each and every season.
Truth when we love for the moon above,
Truth for the show of life that never ends.
Truth on a plane, truth on a train,
sailing in the ocean, truth in the motion.
Truth in your car, at your local bar.
There's truth when you look at a star.

You can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.

You can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the truth, nobody can stop the truth.
Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.

Hicks's new prison 'a Hilton' compared to Cuba?
by Con Monday May 21, 2007 at 07:23 PM

David Hicks's lawyer says he is confident his client will adjust well to Australian prison life.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200705/s1928983.htm

==========================

Oh! That does help doesn't it stupid? Using his own lawyer to crucify him?
If it's so f----ing comfortable how about you go and take his place?
Seen as how he's under no jurisdiction under Australian LAW.

How much did the lawyer get out of it? Remember the same Lawyer got to to take no further action as well? Even before he had time to think about it.

What happened to the cooling off period? Doesn't duress cover that?

Your lying ABC.

Prison bosses to reject Hicks photo request
by Parrot Press Tuesday May 22, 2007 at 05:25 PM

The South Australian Correctional Service Department says it is highly unlikely it will release a photo of David Hicks.

Hicks's father Terry is expected to request that a photo of his son be released to stop any picture being secretly taken in jail and sold.

A spokesman for the department says there are strict rules against visitors using cameras in Yatala Prison in Adelaide.

The department says it will consider the request if it is received, but no images of prisoners in the high security division have been released previously.
