Canadian government fires up the moral crack pipe again
Perry de Havilland (London)  Afghanistan • Military affairs • North American affairs

Canada is treating its soldiers disgracefully. The fighting in Afghanistan is not a gentlemen's game between sportsmen, it is a fight to the death with desperate terrorists. If some dead Al Qaeda/Taliban soldier was posed for a photograph with a cigarette and a placard around his neck saying 'fuck terrorism' then I say so what? It is okay to kill a man, to blow a hole in his body with a 50 cal slug, to shoot him dead, at the behest of your government... but not to disrespect the terrorist supporting son of a bitch's corpse? Ludicrous.
