Britain is *gasp* defending itself...

Britain Spells Out Rules for Barring Militants

LONDON, Aug. 24 - Home Secretary Charles Clarke published a catalogue of terrorism-related offenses today setting the ground rules for Britain to ban or deport foreign militants accused of fomenting hatred, violence and extremism.

Makes sense, right? You take someone who is a guest in your country and yet urges destruction of your country and your people and you send him home. That would be logical, right? Right?

Some civil rights groups challenged the measures.

Gee, what a surprise!

"Today's announcement fails to answer the fundamental question: Will the government's deportation plans result in suspects being sent to countries with a known record of torture?" said James Welch, the legal director of a civil rights group called Liberty. "What has always separated us from the terrorists is that we do not torture people or send them to be tortured - that is the standard we need to maintain."

Oh, no! Britain is sending people who hate freedom and civil liberties and human rights, and urge the violent restriction of freedoms and violation of rights for others, back to their home country where there are no freedoms, civil liberties, or human rights. The horror. The horror.

It is not like Britain is intentionally outsourcing them to be tortured in a random country where they know that will happen. Britain is sending these ingrates home.

Why? Because Britain has the gall to think it has the right to protect itself and its people against those who vow to bring destruction.

If immigrants want to stay in the West, they should play by the rules. Don't bite the hand that feeds ya.
