Howard Meddles In Hicks Sentence

Surely not!  Johnny Howard getting a "MEDIA GAG" as part of the sentence issued to David Hicks?

They also seem to have known his fate BEFORE Hicks did himself!

Since when do convicted criminals (now that he has been tried (and I use that term loosely)  and convicted he is a convicted criminal) get media clauses issued as part of your sentence?

So he gets 9 months sentence but cant speak to the media for 12 months?  Odd... I always thought that when you get sent to jail for period "x" and you serve that period at Her Majesty's Pleasure then afterwards you are a FREE MAN?

Not so apparently... apparently American courts can impose a further 3 month period of denying an Australian citizen his full rights and privileges for a further period when he is then living as an Australian citizen in Australia...

mmmm.... but at least our government had nothing to do with it.... nothing at all.... mmmmm
