The Bush administration is doing a good job of rendering its detained terror suspects mentally ill:
After five years of detention at Guantanamo Bay without trial or sentence, Australian Taliban fighter David Hicks may be too traumatised to take a family phone call before Christmas.
With Hicks’ case against the Federal Government listed for a preliminary hearing today in Sydney, his family has learnt that he may refuse the call because he was too psychologically fragile…

Mission Accomplished.
