Should've thrown away the key.

A DEFIANT David Hicks was in hiding last night after refusing to apologise for working with Islamic terror groups responsible for killing Australians.
Hicks, 32, looking robust and with shoulder-length hair, walked out of Adelaide's Yatala Prison yesterday morning after nearly six years behind bars.
Almost a dozen police cars and motorbikes held back traffic and a no-fly zone grounded helicopters as Hicks made a quick getaway.
A relative in a Victorian-registered car took him to the first of a series of secret safe houses.
As he was taken away, federal police refused to say if they had authorised Hicks to move between addresses or even travel interstate.
Hicks made no apology for his actions in a statement read by his lawyer outside the prison after his client had left.
Asked if Hicks felt he had anything to be sorry for, his father, Terry, said: "I don't think so."
Mr Hicks later refused to say if Hicks was sorry for training with al-Qaida and serving alongside the Taliban.
"I think that's probably irrelevant now. He's out," he said.

If Hicks had apologised - said he'd been moronically stupid and regretted the choices he'd made as a younger man - a lot of Australians would have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's served his sentence, he could have put this behind him.
His apparent lack of any regrets or remorse has been a kick in the teeth to a lot of people.
He should have been released in the middle of the Outback...and told to walk out for his release!
Should've thrown away the key.
But a public apology could cost him his head perhaps.

sounds like little johnny jihad...
He just made himself more of a target than he already was.
i wonder what the line is on him now???
He is stupid for joining Al Quada
What Down under betting bars saying about David Hicks
Over or under may get whack in the future
I hope he gets exposed in every location he stays. He is as bad or worse than a sex predator.
The Hicks situation is a demonstration of what happens when war criminals and pirates are not executed.
