Allowed to stay

Song Dae Ri got a last-minute reprieve from being deported to North Korea and is being allowed to stay in Canada (via Damian):

Ending months of uncertainty, the office of Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan stayed Mr. Ri’s removal order yesterday and ruled he is not a war criminal — contrary to the findings of the Immigration and Refugee Board, which rejected his asylum bid last September.

The ministry ruled that the risk Mr. Ri would be tortured or killed if deported outweighed any danger he may pose to Canada.

This reprive was widely expected… but it raises more questions than it answers. Again, I sense the public hasn’t been getting the whole story.
