I don't want to say that some crimes are more serious than others, but those types of crimes are really high on the level of seriousness. Taking away an appeal on humanitarian and compassionate considerations for that is a very big thing that you're taking away, but if you're going to take it away from anyone, you take it away from war criminals and terrorists, from those types of people. The nature of that crime is such that you would ask what humanitarian ground, really, you are going to assert. Here's the humanitarian ground: “I blew up a whole bunch of people, but this is a really good reason that I should stay.” l'm having trouble figuring out what the humanitarian ground would be.
