A third war crimes suspect has been arrested less than a week after the federal government launched a most-wanted-style website aimed at ferreting out abusers who may have entered the country illegally. Manuel De La Torre Herrara came to Canada from Peru in 2000 and was ordered deported in 2004. He was arrested in Toronto this week, said Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. Some have criticized Ottawa’s war-crime crackdown, arguing that it erodes the presumption of innocence. The government revealed a list of 30 war crimes suspects last week and asked for anyone with information on any of the accused to come forward.

USA style of governing, get used to it because it will get worse. The governmnet is taking citizenship of 1,800 people because they say it was given under false pretense. Is the government second guessing the immigrantion department? Is it proved in court? Be careful what you wish for. The next step can be you on whatever the government doesn’t like: maybe you make an comment or publish an article the Harper doesn’t like and you can be next. Be very aware of politicians playing good guys and defenders of the rights of the country: be very aware of it.
