Article titled - Terror suspect agrees to strict form of house arrest.

Well ain’t we lucky? Seems it’s confirmed that this 'fella' helped someone involved in the 911 incident – you remember that don’t you? Anyhow he helped launder some money, get fake US passports – generally some tough friends this fella’ had. Poor guy has sat in jail for 7 years and its time to get out….but can we send hom home to Syria? Seems not, he might be of all things, tortured – so our sense of morals says oh no can’t send him home. And can’t, for some reason let him sit in a normal jail. So best place for him is at his own home…which he does not have. So some friends and it seems the Government – that’s “us the people” will chip in for his new pad. And by golly 7x24 armed security at his door – his own personal detail, to watch his every move – the cost for this private party? Estimated at around a Million Taxpayer $'s a year….cool this liberty, our justice and sense of moral purpose….we’re nuts.

BUT WAIT – there’s more…he had 4 friends already in similar programs at our expense.

Thank goodness he acquiesced and agreed to such onerous terms. We’re Canadian-eh?

And Conrad Black – still a guest of the State. The other one.
