Canadian Immigration Laws Allow Convicted Terrorist and Killer to Make Home in Ontario

This article is about a man who was a convicted terrorist by the Greek government in 1968 who was released as part of an airplane hijacking deal in 1970. He now lives in Canada to get away from his past. What first led me to this article was the fact that it was put under Fox News's "America's Future" section. This man poses no threat to To the US. He has done nothing since his attack on a airplane in 1968 and is now 65 with a cane in one of the pictures that Fox has put up. Another problem with this article is that it was made to seem like this was a recent event. The date on the article is August of 2008 which is old news but it still appeared on the main page of the "America's Future Section." The last problem that I have with this article is that the quotes do not seem to be complete. I feel that there is more to the dialogue which went on between this "terrorist" and Fox News. The accountability factor is jeopardized with no access to the conversation that occurred. Smith talks about a similar situation where a newspaper grants readers access to all of a cases resources to prove its credibility in a high profile case (pages 81-82). I feel that all news outlets to allow people to their sources. This is the most raw form of news and it allows people to make their own opinions free from influence. The editor of the newspaper in this case said "Again and again readers told us how much they appreciated seeing the background material." (page 82). This should not be a one time thing.
