This whole issue of an Australian, held without charge, on foreign soil (non AU and NON US), under US Law, to be heard before a Military Court.
Also please consider Australian Armed forces joined with US forces in the Gulf war and Australia was billed for each bomb they dropped and every litre of fuel they used and the AU government paid the bill. You should also be aware of the ANZUS Treaty http://www.australianpolitics.com/foreign/anzus/anzus-treaty.shtml and when requested by US, AU has never not honoured request for military assistance - Totally at Australian Expense. Australian could rightfully request extradition years ago, but did not do so for political reasons. ALL it would have taken is 1 phone call by the AU PM to US President under this treaty, however the prisoner was not being held on US Soil. Gets very very messy and in end no one benefits. Many Nations, 1 World without beginning centre or end - its round.
