Just slept 20 hours. I guess I must have needed it, but I slept right through my latest chance to meet the mayor. Ah well Sam, we’ll get to you eventually. I’ve got the Pivot Auction tonight, though, so no napping for me no matter how addled I get; this one’s unmissable.

US military makes, breaks amnesty deal
I guess we’ll be getting used to hearing those funny accents around Vancouver again. Ah, everything old is new again!
“My enemy isn’t foreign now. It’s domestic.”
AWOL American military personnel, fearing redeployment to Iraq, have observed with frustration as the amnesty and discharge deal reached by 23-year-old Kyle Snyder was apparently disregarded once the soldier had surrendered himself at Fort Knox as per the agreement.
The AP via the Guardian has the full report.
“They’re not going to win the hearts and minds like that,” said Glass, 24, who signed on with the Indiana National Guard in 2002…
“Nobody’s going to come back from Canada anymore,” said James Fennerty, a Chicago-based attorney who represents Snyder and other AWOL soldiers.
Several soldiers who went to Canada have said they don’t want to return to Iraq. Sgt. Patrick Hart, who deserted the Fort Campbell, Ky.-based 101st Airborne Division in August 2005, a month before his second deployment, said he felt misled about the reasons for the war.
“How can I go over there if I don’t believe in the cause? I still consider myself a soldier, but I can’t do that,” said Hart, a Buffalo, N.Y., native who served more than nine years in the military.
“The whole story behind it, it all feels like a big lie,” Glass said. “I ain’t fighting for no lie…”
Some are seeking refugee status in Canada. Hart, who was joined in Toronto by his wife and their 3-year-old son, served time in Bosnia in the early 1990s, became a reserve, then went to Iraq after returning to active duty. The idea of returning to the United States is appealing to Hart, because he would like to see family and friends.
“I could see going back under some kind of amnesty program or something like that,” Hart said. “But I don’t trust them. My enemy isn’t foreign now. It’s domestic.”
