Harper, Fungus and Indefinite Detention

So the Portobello mushroom that leads this country, Stephen Harper, has his fungal fingers all over this decision to Deny Omar Khadr due process and keep him festering forever in a foreign prison for nothing. At least, nothing proven, and that used to be the rub.

The sad thing is that this would be happening even if Iggy were in charge. The encroachment of the conservative wet-dream of a jackboot-state is unmistakable. Another attack and, "Free No More.

Bang?
Whimper?
Who cares?

In the US, the supposed lefty, Obama, provides the proof, riding right alongside Bush on the range. The horse of civil liberties is out of the barn, replaced in its shit stained stall by a two big steads named Surveillance and Torture.
