And if you're trying to convince people that they should be up in arms about it, the article you linked to isn't going to do much good. As they point out, Amnesty International (the organization pushing for this) sure seems to have their own agenda... they want Bush secured before an investigation even takes place... but Canada should be doing more to defend convicted Omar Khadr.
It's simple, there is a world court and a universal declaration of human rights that it enforces. If there seriously is enough there for him to be convicted, then let those who want it done bring it up there and get the conviction and he'll be kept out, until then, tell the people who want to use us to further their own political agenda to go follow established procedures and leave us alone.
I know...I picked that article to let people decide for themselves. I did read the entire article and they certainly leave it up to the reader to make a decision. As for the world court, they are just as effective as the United Nations (actually an extension of the UN) which has done little to nothing to "bomb everyone after the fact" to make it look like we are actually doing something , when they have done nothing historically, and let millions die, again and again. It is actually the people who are standing up to corrupt rulers and making their voices heard...kind of like what Canadians should be doing in this situation.
