GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba - David Hicks, a 29-year-old Australian whose father describes him as an adventurer who's gotten himself in and out of jams all his life, has become the second prisoner at the U.S. prison camp here to be formally charged with war crimes. Hicks, a Muslim convert, was accused yesterday of being an al-Qaida trainee who fought against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, where he was captured. "Mr. David Hicks, how do you plead?" asked Col. Peter Brownback III. "Sir, to all charges, not guilty," the 5-foot-3-inch one-time cowboy said before breathing a huge sigh and cracking his only public smile of the day. Hicks' appearance was in sharp contrast to the appearance Tuesday of the first person to face a U.S. war crimes trial since World War II when Yemen's Salim Hamdan smiled broadly in the courtroom.
