I fervently hope for a Conservative majority which strips every thin dime of taxpayer funding from this socialist mouthpeice network and forces it to promote itself in the marketplace on its own merits, See how "little mosque on the prairie" works out for ya then.

I bet Audry is a super nice person, and I wish the world was rainbows and flowers BUT IT IS NOT! Haters of the free world laugh at us because we are aiding them in our own distruction. The fastest growing religion in the free world is Muslim. I have yet to hear the so called passive Muslims cry out in any meaningfull way against the extremists, and that scares the hell out of me. Our government needs to wise up and start making hard decisions - not political correct decisions. As for this clown Khdar, lock him up in Millhavens general population - case closed.

I will not let me or someone I care about be detained indefinitely in a foreign prison, just because someone in the government thinks ill of me.
Now if you think its ridiculous that Omar and his family are considered Canadian citizens, I agree with you. Lets look into how that came to be so we can prevent it in the future.

This new legislation should also stipulate that the immediate family (parents, wife & children) be stripped of the Canadian citizenship and forced to relocate to their country of origin. This law would not be applicable to the Khadrs but it may serve as a deterent to future 'martyrs' who would at least know the inevitable consequences of their actions. At the moment, our lenient court system actually rewards those who are involved in terrorist activities overseas. I would vote for any political party that would propose to adopt such legislation without any hesitation.

Regardless of what you think of the case, his guilt or innocence, the fact is that under accepted international standards - this most recent convention has nearly 130 signatories - he fits the definition of a child soldier. And the case should have been treated as such.
This would have been an excellent opportunity for Canada to gain face in the international community and take pride in our fairness under the rule of law. But, Ottawa is weak willed when it comes to relations with the US.

at 2:52 PM ETEver notice how the so-called lefties are not afraid to post with their real names yet the right wing racists hide theirs. To all you right wing nuts out there it might help to clarify that when we sign an international agreement to protect all Canadians under the age of 18, it means just that. It does not apply just to anglo-saxon protestants children, it does mean all of them. I know that you would prefer otherwise, and thats why you vote for racists, but thats not what our multicultural Canada has traditionally stood for.

at 12:59 PM ETThe article states, "Khadr was not charged with first-degree murder but a war crime of murder. Macklin notes that crime "doesn't actually exist in the international lexicon of war crimes." Khadr is the only person in the world convicted of that war crime."
So the wounded kid that they incarcerated and tortured wasn't actually guilty of any known crime, and they had to invent one to justify what they'd done. I devoutly hope that Canadian justice provides for his swift transfer and release and access to top-notch counseling. The fact is that he's been found guilty in a questionable court on a charge that didn't previously exist.

Where is it all going to end? Just wait people, when there is a Muslim sitting in the Prime Ministers chair within the next 10 years or so. Then we will look back at this incident in disgrace because our generation allowed it to happen. Shame on us. They have photos of this little jerk walking around with an American Soldiers dismembered hand and building roadside bombs. He is a product of his environment but so were the Hitler Youth. Just wait for it !!!!!!

at 1:38 AM ETAs a Canadian, I do not feel any shame for what happened to this person. The shame should be with his terrorist family for putting him in that situation. I still cannot understand why, as everyone keeps saying he was a child soldier/terrorist, has hismother not been charged with child abuse. A woman lately took pictures of her child smoking pot and they're considering charging her. While I certainly do not agree with what that woman did, it is a far lesser crime than what Khadr's mother allowed, so why the kid gloves? Is the government too scared of the Islamic vote going to another party if she is charged. What gives?
The biggest question when this person returns to Canada, is HOW MUCH is this going to cost the taxpayer??

at 12:45 AM ETHe is a convicted murderer and terrorist.
Was he a child soldier? At best that's debateable. The fact is he murdered an American soldier, a Canadian ally, in cold blood.
What is the difference between murder and killing in war you ask? A soldier kills because he is defending his country and/or beliefs under the auspices of the state.
A man who kills an allied soldier for money based on an ideology that is NOT Canadian and then tries to get his flag of convenience to help him is a murderer.
If he was adamant about supporting al Qaeda and wanted to renounce his Canadian citizenship then at least I could respect him as a legitimate enemy.

Drawing extensively from video footage that required a court order to declassify, the documentary follows four days in Khadr’s wretched life as he was interrogated by two officials from Canada’s spy agency, with a female CIA officer in attendance.
Because of his status as a “child soldier” under United Nations rules, critics allege his incarceration amounts to a war crime. They will have more reason for outrage after watching the searing documentary, You Don’t Like The Truth: Four Days Inside Guantanamo, by Patricio Henriquez and Luc Côté. It will challenge your faith in democracy, the rule of law and justice.

That he was physically born and raised on Canadian soil does not change the fact that the parents who raised him were enthusiastic jehadists who hated the country they currently resided in.
The only shame we have to bear is that we let such parents into the country in the first place, and were too slow to kick them out.

That those facts will likely contradict what they've been screeching, and will cast Harper in a bad light, as well as showing how deeply embedded racism is in the Conservative party approach to politics, must be causing them nightmares.

at 7:14 PM ETThe United States arrested a child soldier and locked him in a dark hole in Gitmo - and spent 8 years torturing him. Anyone who honestly believes that Khadr's confession was not produced under duress is fooling themself.
Khadr is not his father. Moreover, international law has a very seperate category for child soldiers, which as the above article states, Khadr's status as a child soldier was seriously downplayed.
Taking any emotions out of this issue for a second, the UN's Paris Principles clearly state that child soldiers who commit war crimes must be considered victims of the side that they fought for, as well as criminals - and that any justice taken against child soldiers must be consistent with international law that affords protection to children.
Basically, the Canadian government should have stepped in - in spite of working for Al Qaeda - he's still a Canadian-born citizen and our government is responsible to protect the rights of our citizens. Particularly his due process rights which are guaranteed under the charter.
I'm sure to any one on the right wing that this is going to come off as another "hug a thug" liberal posts. But I'm not advocating that we ignore Khadr's involvement - rather that we allow him a chance to rehabilitate through supervised education, keeping his "crimes" in context with the fact that he was pressured into joining Al Qaeda by his terrorist father.
