CBC News: U.S. army deserter seeking refugee status in Canada
Hinzman enlisted in the U.S. army three years ago as a paratrooper with the 82 Airborne Division. He deserted earlier this year, rather than go to Iraq, and moved to Canada with his wife and small child.
In an interview several months ago Hinzman said he enlisted "for pragmatic reasons, because I wanted a college fund."
His lawyer says Hinzman is seeking refugee status because he's morally opposed to the war in Iraq and that the U.S. invasion of Iraq violates international human rights.
