KAFKAYESQUE TREATMENT OF OMAR KHADR

Today's Waterloo Region Record has an Opinion piece by Thomas Walkom titled ""Secret evidence" against Omar Khadr a joke". Mr. Walkom actually uses an on-line posting of a psychiatrist's report (Michael Welner) by a right wing Conservative pundit by the name of Ezra Levant. I've seen Mr. Levant on T.V. and he certainly is right wing and he certainly is not shy and retiring in his opinions to say the least. nevertheless Thomas walkom in the Record basically disects the psychiatrist's report that apparently mr. Levant was relying on to show Canadian Omar Khadr in a bad light.

The psychiatrist's report is absolutely Kafkayesque in blaming the victim. Mr. Khadr after being seriously wounded almost to the point of death as a FIFTEEN year old child has been imprisoned by the Americans at Guantanamo Cuba for nearly a decade. The psychiatric report by Mr. Wellner purports to show various attitudes and personality characteristics of Mr. Khadr that would indicate he's a threat to Canada. That Prime Minister Harper and his Cabinet Minister Vic Toews would use that, on the face of it, rubbish, to justify their delay in following through on their promise to bring Mr. Khadr home after a decade in custody, is absurd and ridiculous. Please show me any adult much less fifteen year old who could be so grieviously physically and mentally abused for a decade who could "pass" some sort of psychiatric test for readmission to the country of their citizenship. He is a Canadian you idiots. Bring him home and deal with it as you promised him, the Americans and the courts you would.
