Northern exposure
American soldiers are fleeing the Iraq war for Canada -- and U.S. officials may be on their trail. North of the border is no longer the safe haven it was during the Vietnam era.
By Gregory Levey [2007-05-03]

  • I don't see the distinction

    "Macklin says that the Canadian system is more likely to view their plight back home -- facing a judge and potential jail time -- as distinct from that of immigrants fleeing an authoritarian regime, who could be imprisoned or executed"

    So the "Canadian system" thinks "jail time" is somehow different from imprisonment and that the Bush administration is not an "authoritarian regime"??? Apparently the "Canadian system" has not been paying attention to the activities of the Cheney/Bush junta.
