Let me ask you something. When you sentence someone to jail, you are removing them from society because they committed a crime and they are a threat right?
That's the basis of how it works.
So let me show you this and then explain the rationale to me:
An Australian who became the first person convicted at a U.S. war crimes trial since World War II was freed from prison on Saturday, after completing his U.S. imposed sentence.
Last week, a federal magistrate ruled Hicks was a security risk because of the training he had received in terrorist camps in Afghanistan. The court was told he met al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden at least 20 times.
He ordered Hicks to report to police three times a week and obey a curfew by staying indoors at premises to be agreed on by police. Other restrictions include that he not leave Australia or contact a list of terror suspects.
If he's a threat, why is he being released from jail?
What will Prime Minister Kevin Rudd say if Hicks goes back to his "old ways"?
If he wasn't a threat anymore, then he shouldn't have to deal with the strict release conditions. If he is a threat, he shouldn't be out of jail.
Sometimes you have to wonder what the fuck people are thinking when dealing with terrorists.
