Throw the Garbage Out
Mahmoud Jaballah has been fighting deportation from Canada back to Egypt. He's been under detention here in solitary confinement, while Ottawa has sought his escorted departure from our soil. Jaballah is being held on a national security certificate still before the courts. If upheld, the certificate would become a removal order that can not be appealed. Jaballah is accused of being a terrorist and of having al-Qaida ties.
There are some who are crying the blues on Jaballah's behalf and saying he might face torture if he is deported. I say, who cares? When it's time to take out the garbage, no-one makes a fuss about what people do with the refuse. Anyone with ties to terrorism deserves everything he might get.
Federal Court Judge Andrew MacKay took the right first step when he ruled that Jaballah is not entitled to protection from deportation. Now let's take the right next step, and throw the garbage out.

Normally I am on the shoot first ask questions later bandwagon when it comes to the terrorist sleaze bags but in this case, what is the evidence? Can they prove that he really is a terrorist? If they can, they should be sending him back on the first plane out torture or no torture. If he is in fact a member of Al Qaeda then he doesn't deserve to be spared torture because they certainly don't think of the innocent lives they are taking.
Amal ... that thought did cross my mind. Then another one came in this great wave ... why is this our problem anyway? He's Egyptian, and they want him back. If he was Canadian, I'd have second thoughts.
Yeah, I know, not too nice of me. But sometimes I'm tired of trying to save everybody, and right now I'm not feeling very trusting in a whole lot of people.
