US Activists Say Canada Should Take In Deserters

Posted on Monday, April 25 at 09:04 by sthompson
Tom Hayden, a former 1960s antiwar leader, said that if the deserters are not allowed to stay legally they could potentially be extradited back to the United States. "(The issue) was previously narrowly caught up in the appeal of the Hinzman case," Hayden said in a telephone interview. "But now it's a broader issue about what Canadian policy should be when the Pentagon comes knocking at the door, trying to take these young men back."

    Thanks to the work of George Lakoff (Rockridge Inst) One can start looking for the linguistic markers and emotionally charged words and word combinations in the lead article of this thread.



    >TORONTO, April 21 (Reuters) - Canada should grant special protection to U.S. soldiers who desert from the war in Iraq, even if they do not qualify as refugees, U.S. activists said on Thursday

    Fist “CANADA“ should???
    Real sloppy phrasing here Bubba
    There is no war in Iraq! PERIOD!!
    There is an invasion however based on lies!
    As a registered piece of property of this legal fiction known as Canada, or as I prefer Canaduh, my voice – if it were to be acknowledged would be for sanctuary for those choosing to NOT participate in the criminal action Bush and Co. are carrying out in Iraq

    No war in Iraq? Then what do you call a consistent chain of bombs and bullets flying and exploding?

    Canadians are asking, why do americans hate us? They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to disagree with each other.

    Desserters should be shot. Shot in the back while they run away, like the dogs that they are. Cowards.

    If you guys want to add more cowards to your numbers go right ahead.
