Bring back Khadr, former PM says
Former prime minister Paul Martin said Sunday that Canada should lobby to bring back Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr.
“I think Bill Graham, who was foreign affairs minister at the time, said it the best. Which was, ‘If we had known then what we know now, then we would have taken strenuous steps to repatriate Mr. Khadr to Canada,' Mr. Martin told CTV's Question Period in an interview broadcast Sunday.
The former prime minister conceded that it is “easy” to operate with the benefit of hindsight, but said, “We should have repatriated him, and I believe that we should do it now.”
Mr. Martin didn't specify Sunday what exactly he knows now that he didn't know before, but his remarks are consistent with those made by other members of the former Liberal government, including Mr. Graham.
Anne McLellan, Irwin Cotler and current Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion all now say either that they were unaware of the extent of the abuse allegations involving Mr. Khadr or that it is time he was tried in a Canadian court.
So it's a case of, if I was in power now, what I knew then...wouldn't matter! This video is from a source I normally wouldn't use, but it is a good example of why Khadr needs to be left where he is until the trial is over.
George even calls Khadr a "soldier", now that is an insult to all our men and women who serve our country. Personally, I have no problem with letting the US judicial system hold a trial to determine whether Khadr is guilty or innocent, but from that video it seems pretty conclusive. Oh, how the Khadr family must wish the Liberals were still in power, didn't they get Daddy Warmonger released from Pakistan? Now they want his little terrorist son home too?
Liberals, if they aren't marching with Hezbollah supporters (Coderre), or partying with Tamil Tigers (too numerous to list), they are crying for a terrorist to be brought home. Well, Annie get our guns, let him live with you, or maybe Martin can give him a job on one of his cocaine, not Canadian flag flying ships. Liberals buying the terrorist vote wherever they go!

Amazing how the CBC uses the word "Allegedly" when refering to Khadr and his terrorist family , but they infer the USA is guilty of torture and abuse at GITMO .
We have no solid evidence that Omar is the person in the recent videos because everyone knows the 9/11 attack was a CGI scam by Hollywood and a inside job by Bush.
In fact , the CBC has purged their news Archives about 9/11 and does not use Muslim or Terrorists in the story , they now report that Canadians were kills when a plane hit a office tower .
Yeah ...right Strombo ,and the ElephantMan had a slight puffyness around the forehead.
Ask Martin about William Sampson , he was a Honest White Christian facing a beheading by those peaceful Whahabi Saudis while Bill graham told the media that he had to use soft-deplomacy which actual kept Sampson alive even though he was being Tortured over lies that he spoke badly about the Peaceful Muhammad who condemns violence and never killed anyone.
So basically , Liberals left a White Christian to rot in a Muslim jail and now they want a Muslim terrorist to be feed from the USA Gitmo jail so he can slaughter Canadians here instaed of Afghanistan as Alt Hindy told people on CBC one night.
Bob Rae also showed how clueless is realy was and I now know what my grandmother meant when she used the term "Educated-Fools" when talking about people like Bob Rae
how had the money to take Courses but not the brains to understand what they were for.
If it wasn't for the AdScam millions still missing from the Schultz and Klink duet in charge of our tax dollars, I'd laugh at martin and Chretien for using a Judge to confirm that they were too stupid to kn ow what went on and Gomery was bias for trying to Protect us taxpayers from Liberal thieves that got caught and now are merely Liars in the Opposition seats.
Terrific post - the liberal reporters like Craig Oliver are reaching to the bottom of the barrel for anything that might give them a postive report for their party, and it just is not there!! They have nothing positive to report and they are looking for anything or anyone that might give them a lift... but from the "blogs" today, it wasn't Craig's friend Paul Martin. One thing for sure - They sure can not get a posive out of the "Green Grab" ... Dion was in my Province this week, they almost drove him out, so you will hear nothing on that either!
We should all start referring to the CBC as the Communist Bureaucracy Collective. We can make Neil MacDonald the head comrade.
Thank you so much. It is truly heartening to see the CPC in such disarray that they're running with this.
The Liberals supporting terrorists? I don't think so. The Liberals are in fact our best hope at preventing the reign of terror the CPC would unleash should it gain majority power.
Your party has all the earmarks of one that would do such a thing.
1) The demonizing of opponents "the Libruls support terrists!". 2) Accusations of treason.
3) The calls for their deaths, either by rendering into fuel, or simply by shooting them.
Let's hear all the backpedaling for that.
No laughs today, you people are disgusting and dangerous. You will never govern.
Ever.
I would like to know if Omar khadr was arrested by a syrian or iranian or iraqi for killing their medical doctor. Do you think he will be interrogated, given medical treatment; have the media focus on him. Do you really expect me to believe that syria iran iraq will let him live all these and to top it off allow his parent to rail on the iranian etc government to have khadr released-do you think this would happen over there. I think not.
CHRETIEN SUPPORTS THE KHADR FAMILY WHO BELONG TO AL-QAEDA AND ARE FRIENDS OF OSAMA BIN LADIN.
PAUL MARTIN MARIA MINNA ETC SUPPORT THE TAMIL-LTTE-TIGERS.
DION, DUCEPPE, LAYTON SUPPORT THE HEZBOLLAH SO DOES DENI CODERRE, AND FEW OTHERS.
DION, LAYTON AND DUCEPPE SUPPORT THE TALIBAN.
whatever the liberals support the CBC CTV and the MSM support as well.
The best part in all of this, is that the terrorist groups know without a doubt that the opposition parties and the MSM support them first before you, me or the troops or the innocent souls who suffer in hands of terrorists.
No wonder the OPPOSITION PARTIES could not bring themselves to support the CRIME BILL nor ANTI-TERRORIST ACT BILL nor the Immigration bill.
''No laughs today, you people are disgusting and dangerous. You will never govern'''
Anon, where have you been since Jan 2006. We ARE governing....duh
On QP, the guest taking on Khadr's lawyer said that Khadr was the only prisoner in Gitmo that was charged with the murder of a US soldier.
(did I hear that right?)
Perhaps that is why the Lib government left the little darling there. Not an insignificant fact.
Why does this terrorist family still hold Canadians citizenship?
Hard working, non-criminals are deported every day, but these terrorists are supported financially by Canadian taxpayers.
Canadians need to have an honest debate on what being a Canadian SHOULD mean.
anonlesshaha- pay attention, we are governing now. Where have you been since the last election. You just prove that liberals and the media have not accepted the face:
THE CONSERVATIVES WON THE ELECTION AND ARE GOVERNING NOW. What do you mean - will never govern.
What do you mean - will never govern.
Why then, if you are "governing", is there a non-stop campaign going on?
Because you are being allowed to stay in office. Despite your best efforts, the putrid reality of how your would govern with a majority is slowly oozing out.
Yes, I should have qualified that statement with "never govern with a majority". You're not really governing the way you want to and you know it. So does everyone else.
But thanks for continuing to underestimate those opposed to you.
And Dion will never get a majority either. Just by the way the votes for any party are very regionalized it is doubtfull if any party will get a majority in the next election. However, we do expect to have a much larger minority, and possibly Layton replacing Dion as opposition leader. That possibility should keep many dippers from lending their vote to dion.
No, I don't think people are going to gravitate to the extremes of the left or the right. It's too dangerous.
They'll go for the centre, and that's the Liberals.
They'll go for the statesman, and that's Dion.
"You will never govern."
Hmmmm - well someone has been asleep for the past few years!
Oh - and Dion a Statesman?
Now that deserves a laugh!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Anon, the Liberals left the center years ago, they are now more left than the NDP. The Liberals are the party of the carbon tax that spends it's ill gotten gains on unionized baby sitting and nothing on the environment. That wants a terrorist back home with his terrorist family? That's not the center, that's far left.
"Yes, I should have qualified that statement with "never govern with a majority". You're not really governing the way you want to and you know it. So does everyone else."
Ha,ha,ha, Yes we are all waiting for that majority to inact the hidden agenda.
You are no doubt a dipper supporter, who just can't see the long game.
Hunter.
I was wondering if I could use your post on CPC ladies, for a Bloggingtoriesfourm post?
Anon, the Liberals left the center years ago,
I know that is your talking point but it is wrong.
they are now more left than the NDP.
You figure people will believe you if you say it often enough? That strategy reminds me of someone, just can't think who that would be offhand...
The Liberals are the party of the carbon tax
Along with income tax cuts. Why are you against tax cuts?
that spends it's ill gotten gains on unionized baby sitting and nothing on the environment.
Which "ill gotten gains" would those be? Why would it "spend on the environment"? Why not change the tax system so that it is cheaper for businesses to something to help the environment than it is to do nothing?
I know it doesn't fit your talking point, the Liberals are supposed to be left of the communists, but of course that is simply untrue, no matter how badly you wish it was otherwise and no matter how many times you repeat it. The Liberals have always encouraged industry to flourish and make the economy grow. The tax shift will simply put industry in a position that stops socializing environmental costs and instead the environmental costs are paid where they happen. That creates a huge incentive to look for ways to reduce the costs by improving ones operations.
That wants a terrorist back home with his terrorist family?
No. Only you have said that. That is what you want? Why?
I know you don't like it, but most Canadians prefer to call someone a "terrorist" after they have been proven to be one.
So far, we have a US army report that someone else threw the grenade, until the conveniently "revised" version blamed Khadr. Seeing how it was a war zone, and he was with people who carry their weapons openly, and do have a chain of command, he should be classed as a soldier. As a soldier, you don't try people for their actions unless they constitute war crimes. Throwing a grenade in a battle is not a war crime. A POW would not be treated as he has been. Since he was an underage soldier, he should be sent home.
Should it be insisted that he is not a soldier, but an "unlawful combatant", he should still be tried in civilian courts. Military courts are for military people.
For some reason, John Lindh, the "American Taliban" was tried in the civilian system. He'll be out of jail in 2019. Why should Khadr somehow be different? Lindh was alleged to have killed a CIA operative. Why should Khadr be different?
That's not the center, that's far left.
That's your wishful thinking.
Hmmmm - well someone has been asleep for the past few years!
And someone appears to be incapable of reading.
Oh - and Dion a Statesman?
Now that deserves a laugh!!!
Yes, that's all you've got, isn't it? You know he's better at dealing with other governments, you know he doesn't swagger around the world scene making us look like idiots. And he's just plain smarter. Harper is great at low cunning, but has no vision.
Ha,ha,ha, Yes we are all waiting for that majority to inact the hidden agenda.
What hidden agenda? Your radical right wing agenda is well known. You just figure all those leftists are stupid and will forget and somehow you'll fool enough into voting for you. Good luck with that.
You are no doubt a dipper supporter, who just can't see the long game.
You are a projectionist, who can't see that this is about our future, not racking up points in some petty game you are playing.
"What hidden agenda? Your radical right wing agenda is well known. You just figure all those leftists are stupid and will forget and somehow you'll fool enough into voting for you. Good luck with that."
Shite you got me.lol
"What hidden agenda? Your radical right wing agenda is well known. You just figure all those leftists are stupid and will forget and somehow you'll fool enough into voting for you. Good luck with that."
Man you got me again. Now where can I sighn up for that leftie kool-aid.. do I have to say OOOOOH Yaaaaa a certin way. I am not hating I just really want to be in the Harper hating club like you..
I am for real, I want to sighn up now to the Harper hater birgade. I will throw away my education my beliefs my values that my family gave me, everything b/c of the evil Harper.
Thanks annon I owe you, without you I would not no about the evil Darth Harper trying to take over Canada and the world.
Now the real question is, now that I am on board the Harper hating falcon, does Harper want to take over the universe?
We must stop him annon. Don't forget that Mars is going through a heating cycle which proves Harper does not just hate the enviroment on earth he hates the enviroment on Mars too.
Where can I sighn up Annon you have won me over...
My tin foil hat size is 7 1/2 please get me one quick.

Speaking of not being able to read - aonyhahahahahahahahahahahaha; please you are a riot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I guess all those international reporters who talk glowingly about our prime minister are under the Harper spell.
Face it anonyhaha; Stephen Harper on the world stage has finally gotten Canada the recognition as a world leader.
Johnny Cretien couldn't do it; Paul Martin couldn't do it and you think Dion, with his broken english and his broken record environment file is going to do it.
PULEEEEEEEZE.
"What hidden agenda? Your radical right wing agenda is well known."
You keep spouting this; please enlighten us as to what you know about that Hidden Agenda - after all, it's supposed to be a secret......sssssshhhhhhh.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Shorter jdot: "You're a hater! Waaaa!"
I guess all those international reporters who talk glowingly about our prime minister are under the Harper spell.
Yes all one of them. The UK telegraph is grasping at anything to try and make it look like there are Conservatives everywhere, so Brits should vote for Cameron.
Face it anonyhaha; Stephen Harper on the world stage has finally gotten Canada the recognition as a world leader.
Yes, the world knows us as the land of "Yo Harper!"
Johnny Cretien couldn't do it; Paul Martin couldn't do it and you think Dion, with his broken english and his broken record environment file is going to do it.
Chretien and Martin did fine internationally. They never made speeches at international meetings with phrases like "unlike the previous government" and other such grandstanding. They left the domestic politics at home. They were statesmanlike. Not acting like bullying thugs.
Dion will do very well internationally. His English is more than adequate, especially when you consider it is not the first language of most people or of most leaders. Believe it or not, most people care about ideas, not how well one pronounces things.
Well aonyhahahahahaha; you go on and believe that if it makes you feel better. Just know that what you believe is a crock.
Oh and the Yo Harper - um I guess if the world reads the Canadian papers they could get that idea; but of course we all know that Canadian journalists will go to great lengths to portray Stephen Harper in a negative light.
As much as the Canadian MSM like to think they are internationally known, they are a joke and would be great reporters for the National Inquirer.
Are you a journalist Anony HAHA?
That so called hidden agenda must really be hidden. Offering BS a cabinet post, she didn't reveal it, embarassing Garth and kicking him out of caucus, and he didn't talk, Scott, he never told, possibly getting someone to offer Chuck a huge payoff and he didn't talk. Guess we owe all those former conservatives a vote of thanks. Even E.C. couldn't find it in 17 boxes taken out and immediately returned. Is it in the pot at the end of the rainbow? Is it programmed into tinfoil hats, and the imagination of anonhaha and his ilk. Maybe it will come out when the NDP completes its takeover of the liberals. They already have 2 former NDP premiers and going after a 3rd. Most likely this hidden agenda is at the bottom of the cliff that Dion is about to fall off of, with a few more steps to the left.

mary mary, you're always so contrary. And, it would seem, a little slow.
The only one mentioning a "hidden agenda" is you and your friends here. Nobody else. That's because it is not hidden at all.
The people you cite who left your party did so because they were uneasy with how much sway the radical right wingers actually have. You did your jobs well in opposition. We always need to have other points of view heard. It is a part of healthy debate. But in government, just with minority power, everything is under attack by your people.
Relentless grinding attack, intended to wear everyone else down. Kind of like the masher who keeps trying until the girl gives in during a moment of weakness. Harper is that masher. You know once he gets what he wants he won't give a fig about you, just take take take.

You're just beside yourself at the possibility of the NDP taking over as opposition, aren't you? You can't deal with real dissent so you hope to have an opposition that could never form a government.
You are so feverish in your desire to paint Dion as "far left" that you actually believe your own propaganda.
Too bad nobody else does. Dion is certainly left of the radical right wing CPC, but for most people he is very much in the centre.
Annon says
"Shorter jdot:"
Where can I get my 7 1/2 tin foil hat?
"Dion is certainly left of the radical right wing CPC, but for most people he is very much in the centre."
Ha,ha,ha,ha
Come on my man, you have to say oh ya after you take a big gulp of the kool-aid and say that.
But I am with you, I am converted Dion is sooo in the center.LMAO
Jdot, yes you can use my post on Conservative ladies if you want.
Stalker Anon, I almost feel sorry for you. Almost! HA!
My hidden agenda as a Conservative woman is to raise my family so they abide by the rules of my house and the rules of law in society.
Now Liberal elites want to take over this country again with taxes for everybody. They are too stupid to even disguise their agenda, they want our money plain and simple.
My hidden agenda as a Conservative woman is to raise my family so they abide by the rules of my house and the rules of law in society.
Still flogging the "hidden agenda", eh? The agenda is well known.
News flash: most women have the objective "to raise my family so they abide by the rules of my house and the rules of law in society.". Do you really think anyone is so foolish to believe only Conservatives think this way?
Now Liberal elites want to take over this country again with taxes for everybody.
You mean the GST, which truly is "the tax on everything"?
They are too stupid to even disguise their agenda, they want our money plain and simple.
So you'll abolish taxes? Or only keep the tax breaks for oil companies?
Anon please tell us what the hidden agenda is, as you say it is well known. You better be careful you don't hurt yourself jumping to conclusions on what everyone is saying in their posts. While jumping to your conclusions, stay out of the way of Dion falling off that cliff.
