Are you suggesting that they do?

Of rather dubious worth, unleashed without the deadening hand of the sub-editor. Leigh Sales' Detainee 002 sorta had the same effect on me - for someone with the access & contacts she purports to have, the book left a lot to be... well... sorted out. Though it experienced the worst launch moment ever, as Hicks went to trial, was convicted & looking at his flight back to Oz all at about the same time. Just goes to prove that the ABC really doesn't have any pull with the Feds anymore...
