This has to be read to be believed.

According to the National Post, the Canadian government–in the person of Immigration Minister Dennis Coderre–won’t release the names and photographs of known war criminals who have become fugitives from Canadian justice. Evidently the war criminals’ RIGHT TO PRIVACY supersedes the rights of Canadians not to be threatened by assorted serial rapists and genocidal maniacs.

War criminals.

I can’t really get my mind around this. Is this meant to represent some nascent Liberal voting bloc? Are the Grits worried about offending the many War Criminal lobby groups out there? Is there NO-ONE whom the Liberals view as a security threat to Canada? Apart from Westerners and Alliance voters, I mean.

Any attempt to mock the Liberals’ position runs hard into the cement wall of disbelief. How can one joke about something so manifestly lunatic? It’s like making fun of a schizophrenic’s delusions.

I am reduced to the pathetic level of hoping Coderre is not one of Paul Martin’s in-crowd. Surely he is destined for the back benches? Please? Pretty-please?
