Categorically incorrect
ethical fallacies in Canada's war on terrorism
by A. Alan Borovoy
"A. Alan Borovoy argues that Canada has pursued an ethically and categorically incorrect war against terror. We have been needlessly dovish abroad and excessively hawkish at home. In order to use military force abroad, the government fussed over the need for United Nations approval. At home, however, there are no such restraints: without even asking a court, the government may effectively deprive certain people of the right to make a living. As the author summarizes: "Internationally, key fallacies stem from an undue respect for a rule of law that does not exist. Domestically, key fallacies stem from an undue neglect of a rule of law that does not exist.""--Jacket.
