James Loooney

The last time James Loney graced our pages was in a post by the "Knight" here where he discussed how James was speaking out telling us that we shouldn't pre-judge the islamofacist sand-monkey jihadists caught trying to blow shit up in Canada.

We need to remember that James Loney is an individual who has shown that he has extremely poor judgement. He voluntarilly went into a warzone. Further he went into a warzone as a member of an organisation that is strongly suspected of aiding and abetting the enemy. Further still, James, being a colon rubbin' homosexual, was in a warzone as a mamber of an organisation suspected of aiding the enemy that would chop off his head if they new that he's gay.

Islamofacist sand-monkey jihadists (terrorists) took our friend James hostage while he was in that warzone. He had to be rescued by the soldiers who are safeguarding our freedoms and who, incidently, James loaths.

Like I said, extremely poor judgement.

Well, James is in the news again. Only this time he's speaking out against Canadian security and anti-terrorism measures. He's got the support of one (Tequila) Sheila Copps, former Liberal Party MP and communist columnist:

OTTAWA -- The whole country hung on every word about James Loney when he was held captive in Iraq as part of a Christian Peacemaker team. So it was strange to see how few listened when he was lobbying here this week against state-sanctioned security certificates which mimic his own incarceration in many ways.

Loney came to add his considerable experience to the voices of those speaking out against lawful detention which can go on for years. Whatever side of the security issue you are on, you have to admire the guts of a young man who obviously did not allow his own incarceration to stifle his political or religious zeal. He spoke from the heart about his own fears and how important it was that we, as Canadians, not visit his private hell on others.

[...]

We have to admire the courage of a man who went through a living hell and returned to fight another day. He did not shy away from tackling the tough issue of security certificates. Summer in Sault Ste. Marie is a lot more appealing than protesting on Parliament Hill. But Loney prompted all of us to think twice, and then again.

As the issue of security certificates -- which have been legal under the Immigration Act for decades -- makes its tortuous way through the Canadian court system, voices like James Loney cause us to reflect on what they see as Canada's own Guantanamo. Can we really justify holding a person for years without trial or even access to evidence? Why is there so little public interest in this fundamental issue of justice?

[...]

James Loney lived a terrorist-imposed nightmare in Iraq. All the more reason his reflection on Canada's own measures of detention is worth listening to. He knows whereof he speaks.

With Tequila-Sheila having been a high-ranking member of the corrupt Liberal Party, I think it's safe to say that she isn't too fimiliar with good judgement either.

Where does that leave us smart folks? Do the opposite of what James and Sheila do when it comes to major issues.

It's only logical...
