KEY POINTS:
ADELAIDE - Accused terrorist David Hicks is in poor shape and showing symptoms of mental deterioration, his Australian lawyer says.
David McLeod today met with the Adelaide born 31-year-old inside a US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"He was very pleased to see us," Mr McLeod said.
"Since I saw him early last year, and since the other Australian lawyer (Michael Griffen) saw him 14 months ago, there has been a deterioration in David's condition.
"He shows all the signs of someone who has been kept in isolation for a very long time."
Hicks met Mr McLeod and other members of his legal team, including his US military lawyer Major Michael Mori today. Further meetings are scheduled for tomorrow.
