He was convicted of lyin gto Congress to hid the massacre of approx. a thousand people by U.S. trained El Salvadorian forces. So when they hire him for Venezuela, we can expect a lot of killing to ensure the U.S.A. grabs the oil. Of course Russia may not like that. Reports advise they over over $10BILLION invested in Venezuela. e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-14308705053212588942019-01-29T16:17:21.036-08:002019-01-29T16:17:21.036-08:00The arrest is actually immoral just like the invas...The arrest is actually immoral just like the invasion of Iraq and Libya. Canada didn't do the right thing, they simply fulfilled their contractual obligation.

He made a statement which actually I thought was quite good. it got the message out. Then of course there was the usual "outrage" by the Cons. McCallum did his "apology", had another meeting and repeated. Perhaps this was carefully staged and it was about time McCallum wanted to come home anyhow. <br /><br />The Chinese don't care what our law is, they just know their law and expect us to act as they do, when they can get other countries to comply. Canada didn't. China wants to ignore extradition treaties, but that is not possible for those countries which have them. Just because some one is rich and famous, doesn't entitle them to avoid the law. <br /><br />Now to come to think of it, back over a decade a billionaire from China was arrested at the request of the Communist government of China for extradition. He made bail, lived in his Burnaby condo, with guards, just as Ms. Meng does until the Chinese government guaranteed they would not execute the man. He was eventually returned to China. He was accused of fraud and theft. China just likes to pick and choose. Canada has done the right thing. McCallum did the right thing. Trudeau did the right thing, to ensure it doesn't become a political football in this year's federal election, because I'm sure the Cons will try.e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.com
