*Canadian* Supreme Court to decide whether Gitmo is legal

Posted by csavage March 21, 2008 11:33 AM

This could ruffle some diplomatic feathers. The Toronto Star reports:

The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear arguments about the legality of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo, where Canadian Omar Khadr is being held.

The high court ruled yesterday that it could consider submissions on whether Guantanamo violates international law, dismissing the federal government's objections that the Canadian courts were not the place to examine the actions of the United States.

We in Canada, and it seems most people in the World, see Mrs. Clinton becoming President as just more of the same, old politics in Washington. That's not CHANGE at all. Marack, he the MAN.

FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN BROKE THE RULES, MRS, CLINTON.

BARACK OBAMA DID NOT BREAK THE RULES, YOU'RE TRYING TO SUCKER HIM INTO BREAKING THE RULES BY SIDING WITH YOU.

YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE OBAMA LOOK GUILTY BY NOT SIDING WITH A CROOK. THAT CROOK BEING YOU. YOU ARE ASKING HIM TO SUBORN BREAKING THE RULES. THAT IS CRIMINAL.

TWO FLORIDA COURTS HAVE UPHELD THE RIGHT OF POLITICAL PARTIES TO
CONDUCT THEIR OWN AFFAIRS. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MADE THE RULES, NOT BARAK OBAMA. YOU AGREED TO THE RULES

EVE GAVE ADAM THE POISONED APPLE. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN IT AND THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WOULD DO WELL TO REJECT, DENOUNCE, REPUDIATE, DISAVOW, RENOUNCE AND IGNORE YOUR PATHETIC APPEAL.

And how does the Globe justify posting these 3 irrelevant comments- how is related to the article?

This may open up a can of worms for other countries who don't think it's legal.

Clinton is desparate, period. She was overconfidant and failed to prepare for a real challenge to her candidacy. In a way she has no choice---play the 'dirty game' that has worked so well for the republicans, or lose. I would still supprt her over any Republican 'psychotic' but ultimately Senator Obama by both word and deed has shown he is the one to lead America out of its historical political and social 'morass'. The American people, free from messages of abject fear will make the right choice in the voting booth both in the primary and in November.

Senator Obama is the leader of choice for "The Second American Revolution".
