I'd be more than happy to pile on Jason Kenney as I don't care for the guy, but quite frankly I agree with him here. AI might have a point if they say "send them to the Hague instead of home for torture and jail" but otherwise they should have better things to do.
AI is up in arms because they do not want Canada omitting or neglecting a responsibility to expend legal resources when they exist, under reasonable circumstances, for the purpose of observing justice - it has nothing to do with them "protecting war criminals" as many in this thread purport.
