Jeremy Hinzman, US Army Deserter, Canadian Resident

In a rare bit of sanity the Immigration and Refugee Board has turned down Jeremy Hinzman’s claim that the US led Iraqi war was illegal posts Daimnation quoting this National Post article:

In a decision released to the National Post yesterday, an adjudicator ruled former U.S. soldier Jeremy Hinzman's claim that the Iraqi conflict was "condemned by the international community" is irrelevant to his refugee claim.

"Evidence with respect to the legality of the U.S. embarking on military action in Iraq will not be admitted into evidence at the hearing of these claims," wrote Brian Goodman, the chairman of the Immigration and Refugee Board panel hearing the case.

The question becomes how many years will it actually take to deport Hinzman?
