An observation

Yesterday, on the ABC news, Hicks was defined as a terrorist supporter (e.g. "David Hicks, terrorist supporter, has arrived in the country.)

On this morning's radio news they've shortened it to terrorist.

Guess they want that government funding badly, huh?

Islamic convert is probably the most accurate.

(Is there any real evidence that he actively supported terrorism, as opposed to armed struggle?)

It's the charge he plead guilty to. Legally, that's all the evidence they need to call him a supporter of terrorism, I guess. Australian Taliban? Well, he was fighting in the employ of the Taliban. [/devils advocate (see blog name)]
