text: this is not mob rule.  This is everyday Canadians expressing a disagreement with laws that allow us to pay people who have tried to kill us.   The law was not designed for this situation and therefore this is a perversion of the intent of our Charter of Rights and of international conventions.  Canada did not cause this issue and had virtually no way to stop it from happening.  At best we could have been more vocal in our desire for torture to stop at Guantanamo.  Yet we do business with the Chinese and Saudis who do not comply with our charter and our basic sense of decency.  If we truly believe in what we say we should be more vocal about these issues as well.
