Today The Australian reported that Australian David Hicks’ was beaten at least three times by American soldiers in Afghanistan. John Howard was dismissive of the story, questioning why the story has only broken now. Hicks’ Australian lawyer Steven Kenny told The Wire that he was unable to talk about the issue before now, but says the claims are true. He says John Howard must request from the Red Cross and from American authorities all the reports related to Hicks’ treatment in custody.
