Canada urged to bring Khadr home

Ironically, for the last two posts I have been talking about the Khadr case and I just happend to cross yet another one!

This particular article discusses how Canada is urged to bring Khadr home and questioning why we haven't done so earlier. Khadr was sent to Guantanamo Bay, an American detention camp located on the shore of Cuba. In 2002, at the age of 15, Canadian citizen Omar Khadr was sent to Guantanamo, and has remained there ever since. Considering Khadr's age, this is a unique case in Canadian legal and political history.

He is charged with taking part in various acts of terrorism, the most severe being the accusation that he threw the grenade that killed American Sgt. Christopher Speer. Earlier this year, documents that indicated there was no significant proof that Khadr was the one handling the grenade were accidentally released from the Pentagon. In June, the Canadian government proposed a possible repatriation of Khadr, although talks are still preliminary

The most fustrating thing I would say is that it's taking numerous years before our governmetn finally interjects and is trying to solve the issue finally...

And I find a lot of the "proof" is quite questionable as I remember in earlier articles that there was no mention of this "evidence" until recently....
