Just deserts
			  The New York Times: "In Canada, an Exile Pleads a Tangled Case for Refuge".
A desserter during a time of war can be put to death. He says:"I just didn't want to shoot anybody." Maybe he should have read the bloody job description. The profile is ficticiously balanced, with a clear message that people like this should get more than one iota of respect which they deserve, as he has "become something of a hero in the peace movement."
