Kafka's "The Trial" Moves to Canada

We don't charge terror suspects like other criminals. As pointed out by Alison at Creekside from the star.com,

"Under the anti-terror legislation, the government doesn't need to prove an accused terrorist took part in or even knew about a specific plot.
All it has to prove is that he knowingly participated in the activities of a terrorist group and contributed either directly or indirectly to anything "enhancing" its abilities."



In Kafka's 'The Trial', Joseph K. was condemned and considered guilty with simply having been charged. In the U.S. rights were circumvented with Guantanamo, a place to indefinitely hold people without any human rights considerations, people mostly rounded up without evidence or just cause in many cases.

In Canada we create a crime, have a trial, then convict people even for their thoughts and associations apparently...

And here I was thinking that it's lucky the technology doesn't exist yet to determine subconscious crimes... as I've had a few directed towards certain political figures...
