Unfortunately in Canada they would have to serve only 25 years. Some muslims were held for a while in a special facility at Millhaven pen on suspiscion of being linked to terrorist groups. But the Supreme Court upheld their right not to be incarcerated without trial. But I still hold to my opinion .... altho' not to the point of causing a fuss about it. But I do know that in democratic countries, the rights of all citizens, even the ones that are a complete waste of skin, must be protected, and the rule of law must be followed ... or else there is no real point to it all. Those who want to rule by rant and whim and prejudice will have a foot in the door. The recent fuss south of the border about prisoners at Gitmo offends a lot of Americans, but that's democracy at work. Sometimes it aint pretty, but it's the best we have ... it's really all that stands between us and chaos.
Maybe I'm and idealist, but I'm comfortable with that.
