I am asking you to consider nominating Major Michael Mori for Australian of the year. The link to the form is below. Feel free to forward this message as you see fit or replicate it or link to it in other forums and media as is appropriate.
Major Michael Mori (US Marine Corps) is the military defence attorney assigned to David Hicks, the sole Australian Guantanamo Bay inmate.
He has been a lone voice calling for justice for all the inmates. This does not mean he proclaims their innocence merely that he wants due process and rule of law followed. With no thought for his career he has simple tried to do his job ethically and to the best of his ability in spite of a US administration bent on convictions for nonsensical crimes to justify the incarceration of the inmates, and an Australian government so dismissive of it's own citizens' basic human rights that it willingly allows Hicks to undergo a process condemned by the US Supreme court, that neither the US or British governments would allow their citizens to undergo.
Major Mori makes me ashamed of my government and proud to be human.
Sincerely, Hingehead.
