What would PM Ignatieff have done?

On the one hand we have these repentant Canadians and their sad families...
"It’s going to be tough because we’ve got a government that’s proven to be somewhat unresponsive to prisoner-transfer requests in circumstances of offences that are arguably much more minor offences."
On the other side of the fence we have that "unresponsive", hard-hearted ogre... Stephen Harper.

After all, it was just that single "offence"... you know... executing a major arms purchase for a violent terrorist group.

I mean, c'mon... it could happen to any one of us... right?

Wrong.

These men had access to every advantage this country had to offer, including post-secondary education and a bright, shining future... but they tossed that aside to deal guns & explosives...
"Sarachandran earned a computer science degree from the University of Windsor in 2002 before returning to Toronto to work at the Tamil Youth Organization, a non-profit group he now acknowledges was “part of” the Tamil Tigers network."
And, if it hadn't been for post-911 scrutiny... you could have been reading a totally different... bloodier story.

Language... and spin... are more important than ever. Don't count on the MSM to give you the whole story.

RELATED: Those darn "Montrealers"
-- KINGSTON, Ont. -- Jury selection begins Tuesday in preparation for the trial of three Montrealers accused of murdering four family members who were found dead in a submerged car at Kingston Mills Lock in 2009.
Note that the "four family members" were his first wife & three daughters... yet curiously, there's not a single word about "honour killing".
