Care to substantiate your "belief"? Nah, didn't think so. Guess they didn't teach that when you got that summa cum laude associate's degree from the University of East Butt Crack.
Good lord Thing, get it straight is cum laude, General Studies and Northeast Butt Creek University.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

So nothing to substantiate your "belief". Thanks for admitting you were talking out of your ass.

FORMER Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks says that if he wins a Queensland Premier's Literary Prize, he will donate the money to torture victims.

"If I win this award, every cent will go to victims of torture," Hicks said in a statement on Ten Network tonight.

Hicks would not agree to be interviewed and simply added: "I have never been a supporter of terrorism. I had no choice but to sign a piece of paper to get out of Guantanamo Bay."

His comments come after his book, Guantanamo: My Journey was shortlisted in the non-fiction category earlier this month.

The tell-all book, which covers Hicks' detention at the US-run jail between 2001 and 2007, could potentially see him take home $15,000 if he wins an award.
