A Federal Court judge has ordered the release of yet another suspected terrorist, allowing alleged Egyptian Al Jihad member Mahmoud Jaballah to live at his residence in Toronto under house arrest while he awaits deportation.
The judge said the Egyptian's many contacts with terrorists supported the government's view he was "a person of reasonably senior status" in the Al Jihad, the main component of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
But the judge said Jaballah was unlikely to be deported anytime soon because of ongoing concerns he might be tortured in Egypt.

He will be released only if he agrees to strict conditions that include electronic monitoring and $43,000 in bonds posted by several people, including: his son; James Loney, the Christian activist who was held hostage in Iraq; and eight others.
Imam Aly Hindy was not allowed to post bail because the judge said he had made statements that infer he defends Islamic terrorism.
On Thursday, another Egyptian terror suspect, Mohamed Mahjoub, was released to live at home under similar conditions.

TORONTO -- It is a myth that Canadian courts are soft on crime or that the Charter of Rights is responsible for felons escaping conviction or receiving light jail terms, says Canada's chief justice, Beverley McLachlin.

Criminals will never register their guns

So National Comment Editor Paul Berton wants, as he noted in yesterday's POV, an "open debate about the future of the (gun) registry, gun control and policing in Canada."
Well, that debate has been going on ever since the Chretien Liberals brought in the billion-dollar boondoggle.
Every firearms killing in Canada results in newspapers from coast to coast getting hundreds of letters from the law-abiding firearms owners of Canada decrying the registry because it doesn't prevent crime.

This Bloggers Opinion in all this...and letter published in the Sun Newspaper
My goodness that is so terrible, let me write my MP immediately so the government can issue a stern warning in the "Criminal Underworld Newsletter" informing them of this glaring omission, so that criminals can immediately rectify this mistake. I have another idea, perhaps all ammunition should come with a warning "All criminals must register their illegal Handguns immediately" so Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin can pull her head out of her ass and put this myth that Canada is not soft on crime.
Tax receipts will be issued upon compliance. Here is another myth Ms. Santa Claus-Cheif Justice, it's a myth that Indo Canadian Women are being murdered by their husbands for expressing their independance and repeat sex offenders are never released into communities and Terrorists are punsihed and not allowed bail to libve at home with Munny and Daddums. Oh yeah, Elvis isn't dead, he works at my local 7-11.
