Australian Guantanamo Prisoner released

How many supposed al Qaida members in Afghanistan are Mujahideen fighters that were defending Afghanistan against the Soviet Union with US, and CIA covert support?
When The US went into Afghanistan they knew they had plenty of 'Live' bait.
I keep wondering ow someone can be 'convicted' at a trial with no 'witnesses'.
The Prisoners at Guantanamo can become anything the US Authorities want them to be.
Of course what wasn't supposed to be torture wasn't brainwashing. The option was clear. You don't get out until you plead guilty.

David Hicks, who was captured fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan in December 2001, pleaded guilty in March to providing material support to al-Qaida after more than five years at at Guantanamo prison and returned to Australia to serve out his sentence. The 32-year-old former kangaroo skinner was released from South Australia state's Yatala prison. He was met by his father and lawyer and driven away in a civilian car with a police escort. He was expected to make a statement later Saturday. His father, Terry, said Hicks was likely to apologize for any inconvenience he has caused and to thank his supporters for helping to secure his release from Guantanamo Bay. Terry Hicks and lawyer David McLeod said Hicks has been suffering from psychological problems stemming from his long detention at Guantanamo Bay
