Un-Gagged
By Thomas JeffreyArticle Posted: Monday April 7, 2008
David Hicks, the Australian national who was captured in Afghanistan for allegedly fighting alongside the Taliban in 2002, only to spend the next five years in limbo after being designated an enemy combatant at Guantanamo Bay prison, is now free to talk about his ordeal.
This past weekend the U.S. Military-imposed gag order that prevented Mr. Hicks from imparting his tale to anyone who might have asked expired, but according to the 33-year old’s father, the former U.S. prisoner of war doesn’t feel like talking — at least not yet.
Mr. Hicks remains under a curfew order imposed by the Federal Magistrates Court in Australia until this coming December, when he will effectively become a free man. And until such time that he decides to come clean, Mr. Hicks is living the quiet life, slowing easing himself back into society one day at a time.
