HICKS QUITS STICKS

Dave drops in:

The man described by a federal magistrate last month as capable of committing a terrorist act has been given special dispensation to leave South Australia.

The Sun-Herald understands that Hicks, 32, has been living with a female friend at Abbotsford, a waterfront suburb in Sydney’s inner west.

Let’s hope she meets David’s requirements.

He has obtained a learner driver’s licence and has been seen driving around the suburb in the company of a female friend, with L-plates attached to his car.

But, but ... the environment!

Hicks’s lawyer, David McLeod, said the former Guantanamo Bay inmate was being mentored by Australian adventurer Dick Smith, who campaigned for a fair trial for the South Australian during Hicks’s five-year detention.

“David has developed a close relationship with Dick Smith,” Mr McLeod said.

For the first time, I feel a little sorry for Dave. At least in Gitmo he learned something.

  1. For Hire: David Hicks and Dick Smith. Dinner party conversationalists, bon vivants, raconteurs. (Prefer female dinner party hosts with big tits).

  2. Just a thought, if Hicks is not a practising Muslim will he be considered an Apostate.  He could be killed by a crazed Islamist at any moment.

  3. Dick Smith and David Hicks.

    What a great pair. Between them, they’ll make a great moral compass. Whatever they think, do the opposite!

  4. Leonard Bernstein hosted the black panthers. Dick Smith has to make do with David Hicks. Radical Chic ain’t what it used to be.

  5. “inner west”.  Where else would he find comfort but between the loins of a inner-west socialist cliché chick?

  7. Hicks is just now learning to drive?  Operating high-powered firearms was a breeze but driving was beyond him.

  8. Either Smith is a publicity junky or there is some payola in the works. Who the hell would want to be seen anywhere near Mohammad Dawoo. His former ‘colleagues,’ I would venture, are none to pleased with him. Is Abbotsford anywhere near Lukemba?
    This from Der Spiegel 29.1.08 entitled ‘Risky Satire’.
    ‘Whereas the mere spectre of possible attacks was enough to get the Deutsche Oper to put the kibosh on a Mozart opera in 2006, Berlin’s Galerie Nord closed its doors this week after a group of Muslims walked into the gallery and threatened staff with violence.’
    So the islamofascists are once again imposing their particular brand of censorship on the Euros.

  9. Just what NSW needs - another bloody terrorist (apparently retired). Is he seeking pre-selection for a safe seat from the ALP?

    I imagine Hicks would slot in quite well with the hopelessly incompetent and allegedly corrupt Iemma Labor Government.

  10. Sniff, sniff, can’t you cynics leave the man alone? So, after having cried about wanting to see his dad, ex wife and kids again,  he’s seeing them from Sydney.

  11. On second thoughts, possibly the time he spent with Tezza was more traumatic than anything Gitmo served up. Can we blame him for seeking solace in the arms of some leftist lushboozie?

    Even Margo might be worth a shot for a bloke thats been in jail for the last 5 years.

  17. I grew up in and live in Sydney’s inner west and there’s enough idiots here already, thank you very much!  And why Sydney?  Why didn’t Hicks head to Melbourne, home of the activist everything and where probably much more of his support base lives?

    Dick Smith is, apparently, “mentoring” Hicks. That’s probably what drew him to Sydney, but exactly what does it mean? Support for his lifestyle?  His beliefs? Providing him with an income?

    Why?

    Is Dick Smith “mentoring” anyone else - perhaps some poor devil who’s worked hard all his or her life, been honest, responsible, does not support terrorism or groups which trample on the rights of others, particularly women, and who does not make outrageous anti-Semitic remarks but who still somehow cannot progress in life?

    There must be so many others who are much, much more worthy of “mentoring”.

    Dick Smith may be a well-meaning fool, but he’s a fool, nonetheless.

    It also seems that crime does, after all, pay.

  18. #15. What timing. Hicks arrived in Sydney just in time for the G&L Mardi Gras.

    I am not game to change the heading of your post to fit that :)

  21. I’m guessing hanging out with terrorists is just Smith’s last gasp at “adventure”.

  22. #8 BJM My money is on payola. Today, Smith is publicly urging Daewoo Hicks to tell his story. It is all part of the pre-publicity for Hicks’ book, which will be out as soon as the ban on comment ends.  I said at the time Dick Smith rang Hicks in Adelaide that he was acting for a publisher.
    We should know real soon.

    Just don’t let on that he was a CIA plant from the get go.  If people find out Hicks’ “Gitmo” was really room 2216 at Caesar’s Palace and those “interrogations” were by Vegas hookers, who knows what may happen.
    (I hope this bit of disinformation is enough to distract people from his Shin Bet associations.)

  24. Hicks and Smith - a real pair of tits.

  25. Unbelievable. On the tele, I was just watching tonight’s one day cricket international between Australia and India at the SCG, and am pretty sure I saw Hicks in the Members Stand with Smith.

    I even managed to get a screen grab.

  26. #25 MM I get a 503 error on your “screen grab” link.

    You are probably right. It could be the sort of stroke that Smith may get into. I personally will boycott any company or associated media outlet and their advertisers who get involved with this disgusting little rat. I don’t care how much they make him out to be a ‘nice bloke’ - Ray Martin style. With the aid of the Internet, it is not too hard to do and the inconvenience would be worth it.

    Posted by BJM on 2008 03 02 at 07:26 AM • permalink

  29. #27 Yeah. That’s him all right.
    Looks like he has recovered from that forced-feeding torture they gave him in Gitmo and Yatala.

  30. Like Stakja, Hicks is just a ham’s throw from me. I suspect the police station he is reporting to is the one just around the corner from my place.

    Abbotsford would be perfect for Dawood.  It’s a very white bread kind of suburb.

    No Jews.

    No Asians.

    No poofs.

    No brown people.

    No one who wants to cut your throat.

    There is plenty of lovely waterfront property, and the Santa lights are Christmas are something to behold.

  31. It is hard to reconcile that the Dick Smith who donated $1 million to the Australian War Memorial to set up a sound and light show about Australians in the Vietnam War is the same Dick Smith who is “mentoring” (whatever that means) a grubby little terrorist traitor who would have shot at Aussie soldiers in Bumholistan.

    Has Smith lost his mind?

  32. Dick and David?  More like two dicks.  Does his girlfriend have a nice rack?

  33. #31. You’re assuming that Dick’s donation to the War Museum was about Vietnam veterans, when in point of fact it was about Dick Smith.

  34. “I reckon it’d take 25 to life to make Margo worth a shot Frollicking.”

    Ash, I misread this as “25 licks” and I am very sorry that I did.

  35. #31. I agree. dHICKSmith (the couple are now linked like a Brangelina for me) are a pair of strange bedfellows.

    I have lost all respect for the half of this pair that wears glasses and should know better.

    His donation to the AWM is being utilised in the “Post 1945” galleries. The same galleries that pay tribute to our efforts in Aghanistan against David Hicks.

    The AWM should give DHick Smith his dirty money back.
