"In one of their first and most significant encounters with anti-terrorism laws, several Supreme Court of Canada judges appeared reluctant yesterday to put the rights of people accused of having al-Qaeda ties ahead of national security concerns."

So where do you sit on the fence?

Should the government be allowed to detain non-Canadians indefinitely, without charges, if they are deemed to be a threat to national security?
It depends on what a threat to national security means. If they're caught with bomb-making materials or a plot to kill the PM then absolutely. If they've only visited an extremist-Islamic website I don't think so.
