A quick thought on Conrad Black's citizenship plea

So... when you're all hot to become a peer of the realm in England, your Canadian citizenship is an "impediment".
Yet, when facing fraud charges in the US, suddenly the prospect of spending your sentence in a Canadian jail is considerably more appealing.
OK, so you brush off your birthright but come running back to it to avoid a US correctional facility, so we can pay the costs of your incarceration?
Get bent. You made your bed, lie in it.
