 NEW YORK (AP) - Australia's foreign minister on Friday criticized lawyers representing the only Australian inmate at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay for disputing his report that the man is healthy.
David Hicks' Pentagon-appointed lawyer, Maj. Michael Mori, has repeatedly said his client is suffering from severe depression after being incarcerated for five years without a trial.
"I think it is preposterous that I should be attacked for explaining ... that in the last week or so somebody visiting him spoke to him and he seemed to be in good health," Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told reporters in New York.
