This photo released Friday, Feb. 22, 2008, by the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia, shows a scan taken from former terror prisoner David Hicks' notebook. Scans of Hicks' notebook and letters seized from his family by federal police in December 2001 were released by the Federal Magistrates Court this week to support its ruling that Hicks was still a terror threat and would be subject to police controls until the end of the year.
