it wasn't "illegal" to bar Galloway for anything. He was/is not a Canadian citizen, we can bar him or anyone else for any reason we want.
I agree, except for the FACT that a judge disagreed with the FACT that he was barred, because of political interference, based solely on alleged crimes.

I really don't give a fu ck what you're convinced of.

Does it matter? :lol:

Through all this incessant nattering about charging Cheney for torture and brutality, I find it strange that no member of the military is being charged.

Ocean Breeze - You are wasting your time and talent - you could write a book of myths (preschool kids would believe) and make a bundle. :lol:

You are probably right about wasting my time. Nothing will come out of it anyhow. Hi level politicians can get away with "murder" and not a person is going to do anything about it. Money and power are the determining factors. The law factors in only to find the essential loopholes to do what is ordinarily illegal, immoral and unethical.

Just like there are different rules for the celebs in the US , there are different rules for their wealthy politicians while the rest of the population is not even encouraged to question things. IF another nation or leadership did what the bush/cheney gang did ......the US would be screaming bloody murder in judgement ...........and most likely send out an assassiantion team.

THat is the nature of their society now. IMHO......it is still important that some ( a minority , granted) continue to assess these situations and people within a legal and ethical framework.

Ya, that's why Fort Leavenworth doesn't exist...:roll:

You really want to get lumped in there with OB Gh? Seriously Gh, go back and reread what I quoted by OB, and come back and tell me you want to continue to agree with her.

Customs does not need a reason to bar you from entering, they can you banish you from entering the country for years on end for nary a reason.

That was relevant 5 years ago.

Again, this is true.

But in the case of Galloway, a Judge determined there was political interference, based on his alleged crimes.

Although you are completely correct, the decision must be free from prejudice, and based on actual facts at the moment of entrance/inquiry.

The economy and the upcoming NHL season. I'm no fan of GWB or Cheney, but these stunts by these organizations are just that, stunts. Give it up already.

Not so fast... OBL received the many virgins that were bestowed upon him by Allan (peas be upon ham) and enjoy the riches and wealth earned by a martyr for the cause.. Afterall , that to is written.
