FEDERAL GOVERNMENT VINDICTIVENESS AGAINST OMAR KHADR CONTINUES

Is it vindictiveness, pettiness, bias or just an unholy wish to forever suck up to the Americans? Why would the Harper Tories continue to vilify and besmirch a Candian citizen who as a child was put into circumstances that no adult should ever have to face. Circumstances I might add that none of the federal Conservatives have any direct knowledge of. Khadr was fifteen years old and left in a building with friends and colleagues of his father. The building was attacked by American soldiers and the firefight including explosives lasted hours. Omar Khadr was wounded almost unto death and maybe he threw a grenade and maybe he didn't. In hindsight he was the only survivor from within the building. Awfully convenient to accuse him of throwing a grenade while fifteen years old and grieviously wounded. He's now spent a decade in prison and the Tories still aren't satisfied. They are appealing the latest court ruling which would send Khadr to a provincial jail and increase his likelihood of earlier release. Today's Waterloo Reion Record carrys this story "Court ruling may open new avenue to freedom for Khadr".
