percy, your opinion is against the majority of Canadians, and I think it goes beyond the simple fact that he's a Canadian.

And you can't revoke the citizenship of or deport a natural-born citizen. Where are you going to deport him to? Cuba? Pakistan? The United States? That's a bit arbitrary, isn't it?

I think the biggest issue is that he's been stuck in Gitmo, and we know what that entails. I think the core issue here is the travesty of justice surrounding that whole operation.

I think what's at issue here is the rule of law. I think most Canadians support that same ideal.
