Subject: RE: BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea?
Canada, like the U.S., has no right to invade another country on the basis of human rights violations.

Afghanistan and Iraq were not invaded because of human rights violations. Afghanistan was invaded in an attempt to find bin Laden and destroy al qaeda. Iraq was invaded to oust Saddam. Somehow they have morphed into a misguided war of moral and religious values. Neither Canada or the U.S. have any right to act with moral authority. At least Canada deals with it, judicially. How many are still being detained by the U.S. without access to legal assistance?

btw - "Charkaoui was released in 2005 and Harkat in 2006, but they remain subject to severe restrictions, including the continuous wearing of a GPS bracelet and house arrest. Jaballah and Mahjoub were released in 2007 after seven years incarceration, and likewise are still subject to house arrest. Almrei is the only one still imprisoned in Millhaven Penitentiary, a maximum security prison, in Kingston, Ontario. All five now face deportation to their countries of origin where, the government admits, they potentially face torture and death."

Dickey - If you're going to give a source, its best to cite something a little more current. Don't be so lazy. When you find an article that supports your position, do a little follow-up.
