This one is probably a really charged political topic, but I just could not help wondering what you guys think, esp those of you who live in Germany.

When I first read up on this story, I was amazed to see that Canada held Zundel in solitary confinement for two years as a "terrorist". A kagaroo court eventually found him guilty of something so secret that they refuse to tell us what it is, then they just now deported him to Germany where he's been arrested for having a website based in the USA that supposedly "denies the holocaust" or something to that effect.

I personally don't know much about Zundel, but it seems to me that no matter what he's done, I would expect the rule of law to be followed, which in his case seems to be arbitary, and he's essentially a modern day political prisoner of concience.

My other concern is that to even discuss what is happening to Zundel could be considered a crime in Germany. So if this topic is illegal, it may have to be removed!!!!!!! I have a link to a free speech site in the USA that discusses Zundel's case (among many other things), but I don't dare post it in here because it really is free speech and that may be against the law in Germany (this server is in Germany is it not?).

I don't know what to think. I guess I thought that the USA under Bush was totaly madness, but it seems the madness is everywhere, including in my own country and in Europe as well.

Sorry if this topic offends anyone, however my interest is NOT in discussing "holocaust denier" issues, I'm only interested in the legal and political implications of arresting a man as a terrorist with secret evidence held against him, finding him guilty of something that is kept secret, then deporting him to a country that arrests him for having a website in another country. It's totally weird!
