Over here, we have CPC deputy leader Peter Mackay saying that a Conservative Government would declare the "Tamil Tigers" a "Terrorist Organization".
Now, going through my mind, the first thought is this - what is this fascination the CPC has with following BushCo. Knowing full well that there has been a near civil war going on in Sri Lanka for some 20 years, does it not occur to the CPC that just maybe these organizations exist out of necessity? That people would adopt membership in the Tamil Tigers simply to survive wherever it is that they live in Sri Lanka?
On the topic of 'getting tough on deportations of accused terrorists', don't we have something called due process? In other words, if you are going to accuse someone of being a terrorist, why not bring them to trial and prove your point. Otherwise, it's little more than political fiat being exercised.
If the Tamil Tigers are to be marked "terrorists", who's next on the list? Are we going to adopt the US "no fly list"?
Of course, pragmatism and logic haven't exactly been the CPC's strong suit.

No, I hadn't forgotten - it's too much fun swatting the monumental stupidity that emerges as a result.
