#1 Canada should talk, they foisted Celine Dion on us.

#2 Guantanamo Bay is a country separate from the U.S.? Curious.

#3 Good point TW. I thought Gitmo was a part of Cuba but that we had a long term lease.

#4 Should've killed the little fuck when they had the chance.

#5 Khadr...is that the little shit accused of fragging a medic after his troop was ployed into approaching a gate to give medical aid to the people then got shot down point-blank?

What if there was a new approach - attach electrodes to the outside of the skull to stimulate the pleasure center of the brain and push buttons so they enjoy everything; the dreaded tickle treatment!

#6 Canada needs to grow the hell up.

A total of three people have been waterboarded -- a procedure we also apply to our own servicemen in some sorts of training. In exchange, we've disrupted terrorist plots around the world, saving who knows how many lives.

I think the Canadian people need to stop preening over their "moral superiority" and start asking some questions about their own fundamental rights. Doesn't look like free speech has long to live up there.

#7 Let's put Canada on the Freedom Watch as they persecute writers like Mark Steyn.

#8 Internbational law? What's that. The only valid law is the one bvoted by elected repesentatives not by Kimmie, The Saudi ticks, the Sudanese slave holders, Bo, Assad, Ghadafi, Poutine and similar.

#9 The legitimate government of Canada understands that it has no legitimacy in interfering in the actions of another sovereign state, other than to express their displeasure with what's being done. This "international law" crap is just a cover to try to destroy the legitimacy of sovereign nations to act in accordance with their individual laws. This POS lawyer knows that, but is still trying to push all the right buttons to get his worthless client off the hook. Both should hang.

#10 Ok, that's it. Start strip-searching all Canuks at the border, and don't be polite about it.

#11 Rob Crawford - what's the basis for your statement that all of three people have been waterboarded?

I've been under the (media-enhanced) impression that the number was far higher than three.

Not trying to start an argument here, just have a legitimate question.

#12 FOTSGreg,
Yep it's three (3). I agree the MSM makes it sound like the number is far higher, but that's because the press never lets the facts get in the way of a good ~~fantasy~~ story.

The actual numbers came out ~1 month ago.

#13 It's simulated waterboarding at that. Not even the real thing. Should have skinned them alive and left them on an ant mound.

#14 I have no problem closing the gates on Gitmo provided, however, the USA is not required to account for the health and well-being, whereabouts, or indeed, even the mere existence of muslims we're said to have or alleged to have taken alive off the field of battle. Until the "civilized world" agrees to those terms, I say keep Gitmo running.

#15 I say feed the sharks swimming off Gitmo.

Problem solved.

#16 And remember, they are accusing Mark Steyn of being racially insensitive to Islamopharts. So this should be no surprise
