Omar Khadr, the former "child soldier" whose war crimes convictions made him a political lightning rod for both Conservative and Liberal governments, is scheduled to be a keynote speaker at a Dalhousie University event next month.Has Omar Khadr publicly... even once... denounced the actions of his dead terrorist father?
TRAVEL BACK IN TIME WITH ME:
"Liberal governments of Chretien and Martin had about 4 years to do whatever they thought fair for Khadr when in power.Oh, it gets better...
Only after 2006 did the "child soldier" line make an appearance, when Irwin Cottler was Justice Minister under Paul Martin."
"The Trudeau government has quietly paid a $10.5-million settlement to Omar Khadr in a move that circumvents legal efforts by two Americans to prevent him from receiving compensation."**********
LAST WORD: It's all culturally relative, isn't it?
"Imagine if you will: teenaged white kids are caught up in some skinhead group. Their parents are neo-nazis as well. Dad and the boys head out to Zimbabwe to fight Mugabe. Dad is killed, and the boyos are wounded and captured."Why should al-Qaeda get a pass?
"How many Toronto Star editorials would be written to get the kids back to Canada?"
