Right out of Al-Qaeda's textbook. The fact that the claims are coming from a professor here in Canada is somewhat worrying though. Either he is a sympathizer for Islamic Terrorists or worse, a collaborator.
Posted at 2007-02-07 09:06:26 [PermaLink]Chad; perish the thought, he's a 'Professor'...
He's obviously done some research so can't be labeled as a dupe, leaving him as a ?
Incidently, why WOULDN'T we turn captured terrorists over to the Afghani authorities, it's their country that's being terrorized!
Posted at 2007-02-07 10:39:33 [PermaLink]Another good leftist professor shilling for the enemy--I'd like to know what these "detainees" were up to when they were arrested? Did the good prof consider that? Nope, only our side is guilty before an investigation, while terrorists are innocent at all times, better, they are victims of Western imperialism...it's dhimmitude all over again.
I hope they strung these terrorists up--how many times do we have to bear suicide bombings and attacks on innocent civilians by such murderers and never provide a sense of justice to the victims? You can go to hell Mr. Professor, and take your moral relativism with you!
Bastards in our media have no problem smearing Canadian troops without questioning the source of the smears - they give him the benefit of the doubt - media never give our troops the benefit of the doubt.
And we're forced to pay for a lot of the sons of bitches in our media through taxes. Disgusting.
It's quite obvious where the professor's loyalties lie.Not once was he questioned as to why he is so interested in this aspect of the Afghan operation, and why he would spend so much time and effort to bring this to light. His own history may bear some looking into.

I expect that Attaran would like them brought to Canada as refugees.
JohnB; well they can damn well stay at HIS house! ;)
Posted at 2007-02-07 13:48:30 [PermaLink]Dan: The plan is - bring them here as refugees, wait until they get citizenship (while on welfare) and a Canadian passport and then they go "home" to Afghanistan. Then, when the shit hits the fan over there, they will be rescued back to Canada (for a vacation) at taxpayer's expense until thinks clear up in the homeland at which point they fly back again. Hey - it worked for the Lebanese didn't it.
Posted at 2007-02-07 14:23:31 [PermaLink]JohnB; I'm thinking that a winter in Churchill would convince most refugees that maybe they don't really want a Canadian passport that badly :)
Posted at 2007-02-07 15:11:23 [PermaLink]The inimitable Ibbitson of the Globe thinks our electoral system is racist. Good grief, does he not have better things to do? Rural ridings had smaller populations long before the growth in non-white immigration from the 70s on. And, to follow DaninVan, those immigrants could settle in Churchill and help redress the balance. Along with whites in T.O. suffering from the same discrimination.

Mark: Ibbitson is a one-trick pony and like horses, isn't too clever. This quote from his column:
"At the extremes, the situation becomes ludicrous. The riding of Malpeque, on Prince Edward Island, has a population of barely 33,000, compared to more than 110,000 for the ridings in and around Vancouver. It takes more than three Vancouver votes to equal one Malpeque vote."
Talk about setting up the straw man, Ibbitson knows little about how Canada works:
"The least populated province, Prince Edward Island, has been the greatest beneficiary of a guarantee that no province will have fewer seats in the House of Commons than it has in the Senate. This is the "senatorial clause" constitutional amendment of 1915 (subsequently confirmed in the Charter in 1982). Prince Edward Island has four electoral districts, instead of the one it would have if its representation were based solely on population. P.E.I. had six seats when it entered Confederation in 1873."

Prince Edward Island cannot have fewer than four seats unless anyone is interested in amending the constitution. As you stated, if immigrants want more clout, move to P.E.I.
Attaran is a Muslim. Where do you think his allegiance lies?
Just another example of our laws and values being used against us by the transnational political organisation known as Islam's Ummah.
His last campaign was to insist that the Geneva rules being the rule for Taliban terrorists as well. Despite the fact that they don't apply to terrorists.
Arar, the Muslim imprisoned in China and now this.
It seems to me that the media and certain political parties are more interested in protecting Muslims, 'Canadian' or otherwise, than say, Sampson - the Canadian that was falsely imprisoned and tortured by the Saudis' not long ago.
"Attaran is a Muslim."
Not so, actually. And he's a recognized expert in international law and public health issues. And he has credentials that make everyone here, including myself, look rather, er, pale. [External Link]
But even his active opposition to Robert Mugabe won't help him with the "he's not a REAL CANADIAN" crowd of knee-jerk defenders of the Canadian military. Somalia barely slowed these folks down.

What the hey, keep up the thinly-veiled race-hatred here, folks. It might deflect a few of the unwashed from the issue at hand: by-passing the Geneva Convention by calling prisoners "detainees" and handing them over the the gentle ex-Northern Alliance types in charge of Afghanistan at the moment. It's just "extraordinary rendition" by other means, and it probably hurts just as bad.
