Bush Wants Arrest Policy In Other Countries

I also wanted to say that perhaps he is targeting Canada, because when a person breaks the law in the U.S. and crosses the border into Canada, it\'s a hell of a fight to get them back.

First, our lawyers have to get involved, because that\'s how they make their living, then we throw roadblocks out there like \"If they are going to be put to death for murdering 39 people, we will not send them back because we don\'t believe in the death penalty\".

Imagine how their justice system feels when we do that. I think, personally, if a person crosses the border to flee the American justice system, they should be escorted right back to the border, the same day !!

Enough of this \"hide and seek\" and let\'s piss them off a little. It doesn\'t work for me. A criminal is a criminal, I don\'t care what country they come from.

Yes well the death penalty is a bit of a problem, however if they did the crime where the death penalty is in effect, they knew the consequences...then again, the way the U.S. system works they seem to be killing an awful lot of innocent people because of sloppy investigation, well they are also killing innocent people in other countries so it\'s touchy! The idea that the U.S. can hunt down people wherever they are doesn\'t sit well with we though, they want to be the world\'s policemen and they also want to be above the law themselves, too many inconsistencies for my liking.

<i>Imagine how their justice system feels when we do that.

Do they care when they deport our citizens to Jordan to be tortured in Syria? But I agree, if you commit the crime, be prepared to do the time.<p> <i>A criminal is a criminal, I don't care what country they come from.</i><p> True, but remember, until they are convicted, they are not criminals. Being accused of something is not a crime. As soon as you label someone a 'terrorist' they are not automatically guilty. I think that word is one that gets thrown around too much. Look 'terrorist' up the dictionary and you will find something like "someone who uses the systematic use of terror as a means of coercion for political gain".<p> There are many people still being held in the US since the 9/11 crackdown, most without being charged or seeing a lawyer for two and a half years, some of whom have been convicted in secret trials, where the charges, transcripts and verdict have all fallen under the guise of 'national security'. Many more taken from Pakistan and Afghanistan two years ago.<p> Should we care what the justice system of a country like that thinks?<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain

The Troll says no.

Don\'t get me wrong, I am against the death penalty, but I do think countries that hide people that have been charged with a crime should send them back to that country to stand trial.

I do not like the idea that the U.S. can just kidnap a person and take them back to the U.S. to stand trial. I think the country they have run to should do the right thing and return them to plead their case.

I know there are members of our own country, the Alliance for one, that still believe in the death penalty, but the only countries around the world that do so are the U.S. and several third-world countries. I\'m not in favour of keeping that kind of company.

This is very DANGEROUS!!! It has nothing to do with justice at all! What`s next, people like us on this website disappear because of our anti-Bush, anti-US imperialism stance? Talk about waiting too long to stop Hitler, well, this is so eerily similar it`s not even funny!

Don't you feel that living in Canada now is like what it was like living in Austria in 1937?<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain

Its seems that belief is becoming more and more prevelant. That in itself is a scary trend whether the belief is warrented or not.

\"someone who uses the systematic use of terror as a means of coercion for political gain\".
This quote really says it all, but certainly could be applied to many of the political regimes in the so called democratic system today! Who is terrorizing the people more than the governments?

That\'s exactly what I was thinking while reading that statement. Except I was thinking specifically G.W.Bush, Richard Perle, Paul Celluci, Powell, Cheney, Rice, Ashcroft, Blair and if I thought about it longer the list would just keep growing. It\'s my Pinocchio list.
