what about Hicks?

From this article about the Americans' release of Saddam to the Iraqis prior to his hanging:

"The Americans said that 'We have no issue in handing him over, but we need everything to be in accordance with the law'," the Iraqi official said, adding that they did not wish to break the law.

It's a shame the Americans cannot afford this same basic right to David Hicks, who unlike Saddam, has killed no one.
