US using Hicks as 'guinea pig': military lawyer


"Lawyers for Australian Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks say they're shocked by a decision to push ahead with his terrorism case, accusing the US of using him as a guinea pig.

"David Hicks will face a fresh hearing before the US military commission sometime in October.

"He's the only detainee whose case is moving forward, with the decision announced just a day after the Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's visit to Washington.

"Hicks' lawyers had been promised the case will not move forward while they're waiting for two other crucial court decisions challenging the validity of the military commissions themselves."
