Watching on was the man who had fought for four long years for Hicks's right to go home: Major Michael Mori. Having grown up as an all-American boy, Mori joined the US Marine Corps as an eighteen-year-old, determined to give his life order and to serve the country he held dear. After training and serving as a military lawyer, he accepted a position as a defense counsel for the military commissions set up in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And then David Hicks's case file landed on his desk. A firm believer in the importance of due process, Mori grew increasingly alarmed by how the military and the US and Australian governments were handling the Hicks case, and others like it. Why was a distinction being made between 'unlawful combatants' and 'prisoners of war'? Why was the Australian government refusing to intervene for one of its people? And what specific crime - if any - had Hicks allegedly committed that deserved years of incarceration without trial? What followed was a long struggle for justice, and one man's gradual disillusionment with the institution that he had signed up to fight for. Michael Mori rallied the support of the Australian people as he exposed an unfair system, changing the way we saw our government and the War on Terror. 600 10 $a Hicks, David, $d 1975- 610 10 $a United States. $b Marine Corps $x Lawyers $v Biography. 610 20 $a Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp $x History. 600 17 $a Hicks, David, $d 1975- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01684659 610 27 $a Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01783445 610 17 $a United States. $b Marine Corps. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528845 611 27 $a War on Terrorism (2001-2009) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754980 650 0 $a Lawyers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Marines $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Guantanamo Bay Naval Base $z Guantanamo Bay Naval Base $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 $x Prisoners and prisons $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Detention of persons $z Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. $z Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. 651 0 $a Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (Cuba) 650 7 $a Prisoners $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077103 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351796 650 7 $a Detention of persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891620 650 7 $a Lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994346 650 7 $a Marines. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010044 650 7 $a Prisoners of war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077227 650 7 $a Prisoners of war $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077241 650 7 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765505 651 7 $a Cuba $z Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01228663 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2001 - 2009 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=083764DEF5D511E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
