	Leonard Peltier \| Peter Worthington \| "The Right Thing" - November 29, 2002
		On a lesser scale, a private member's bill tabled in the House of Commons last week by NDP justice critic Bill Blaikie urged Parliament to "condemn as unacceptable" how Leonard Peltier was extradited from Canada in 1976, and for the government to demand his return.
		What the bill does is raise, once again, Canada's complicity in ongoing outrages against Peltier - a Sioux-Ojibwa Indian sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for the 1975 killing of two FBI agents during a range war on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reserve, near Wounded Knee.
		Blaikie's bill is significant in that it is adamantly supported by the Canadian Alliance's John Reynolds, who argued on behalf of Peltier to Bill Clinton when he was president, and continues with George Bush.
