From
this account, it appears he may be shipped back down under.
David Hicks has pleaded guilty to one count of supporting a terrorist organisation.
He pleaded guilty to a late night specially convened military commission after an apparent deal was reached between his defence attorney and the prosecution.
The plea raises the prospect that he will soon return to Australia.
It is unclear what sentence he will have to serve. There was no mention of how long he will have to serve, or if he will serve it in Australia.
The Military Commission will reconvene tomorrow (Tuesday) to enter a formal verdict.
It sure appears they have no shortage of bleeding-heart moonbats in Australia.
The Australian Demorats and Greens today condemned the ejection of Hicks's lawyers, saying it was further evidence of the the judicial process being rigged against the Australian.
"That's the problem with a kangaroo court, it makes its own rules," Democrats leader Lynn Allison said in Canberra.
"It's a continued abuse of justice and of David Hicks himself.
"We must remember this is just the beginning. It could be several years before he's brough to trial proper."
Australian Greens leader Bob brown compared the dismissal of Hicks's lawyers to the processes under the former Soviet Union's legal system.
"This court is nowehere near the level of justice that we expect in a Western democracy, particularly in Australia.
"It's got the Howard Governement's tick of approval but it is mightily unpopular with Australians and as it's unfolding it's going from bad to worse."
