Guantánamo attorney protests 'new crime'

The latest charges are the military's second attempt to try Australian David Hick, 31, and two
other high-profile prisoners at the U.S. detention center in Cuba.

Hicks' Pentagon-appointed lawyer, Marine Maj. Michael Mori, said he had never heard of a charge of providing material support for terrorism.

"It seems to me that they're creating new crimes after the fact," Mori told Australian
Broadcasting Corp. radio today.
