THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG DAWOOD
The Gold Coast Sun reports (no link available; from the September 26 edition):
Australian terrorism detainee David Hicks may be headed for the Gold Coast when he is released from an Adelaide prison at the end of the year.
A
neighbour for Kevin!
Hicks ... hopes to study zoology and geology and will try to get into a Gold Coast university, his father, Terry, told the Sun.
But the Gold Coast isn’t Dave’s first choice:
“He will sit for his university entrance exam next month,” [Terry Hicks] said. “If he can’t get into Adelaide University, he is thinking about coming to the Gold Coast - you have some very good universities here.”
Dave is kinda picky for someone who left school at 14 and whose most recent career ambition was Jew Exterminator. He’s a snob in jail, too:
[Dave] is not keen to mix with the other prisoners. “He doesn’t see himself as a criminal, and he doesn’t really want to mix with criminals,” said Mr Hicks.
Hicks trained with al Qaeda and served with the Taliban. If I was some Aussie crim holed up with Dave in Yatala prison, I’d be feeling mighty offended.
