Former Guantanamo detainee David Hicks has been released from jail in Australia after serving a nine-month sentence. Hicks was held for five years at Guantanmo before being sent back to Australia. His attorney David McLeod read a statement from Hicks to the media.

David McLeod: “As part of my conditions of release from Guantanamo Bay, I agreed not to speak to the media on a range of issues before March 30th, 2008. It is my intention to honor this agreement, as I don’t want to do anything that might result in my return there. So for now, I will limit what I have to say. I will say more at a later time.”
