To your second point, I think you're partially right, but the Conservatives going on the spree they've gone on is a bit much. I find it pretty telling that despite all of their rhetoric, they have failed to produce any kind of legal argument or legal expert to back up their stance on the subject, and based on how the various court challenges tended to go for the Harper governments, it really does look like not much has changed.

My point is that many of these people are fiscally conservative when it's convenient for them to be.
I dunno Rube, all I'm asking for is due process, I do believe that evidence exists that could lead to Khadr facing charges. Would he be convicted? I dunno, but I think the crown should have taken a look at it. Clearly they aren't so it's all redundant. And no, I'm not a fiscal conservative or conservative of any sort.
