Ezra Levant is a liar and a media whore. nothing he says or writes should be taken seriously.

Me, I’ll listen the the US Marine Major who has represented Khadr thee last years who has said time and again that there is no case against him and it now seems he probably didn’t throw the greneade.

Mind you if the fascist Bush had actually held a fair trial, we’d know by now wouldn’t we.

Poor Stan, unable to think for himself or do anything other than parrot liars.

Here’s a great column on Khadr and the left win lawyers:

“If the CBA had a general policy of demanding the return of Canadians caught in trouble overseas, its Khadr fetish wouldn’t stand out so garishly. But the CBA doesn’t do that. In fact, when it comes to the world’s worst regimes, the CBA isn’t just silent — it participates in their PR rehabilitation.

Take Burma, a brutal country that just extended the illegal house arrest of democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner. The CBA recently sponsored a tourist junket to Burma, full of sightseeing and shopping. Suu Kyi has specifically called for a tourism boycott, saying in a 1999 interview “to suggest that there’s anything new that tourists can teach the people of Burma about their own situation is not simply patronizing, it’s also racist.” But the CBA sent 60 vacationing lawyers to Burma on an itinerary that included some great bargains on lacquerware and rubies.”

Where is the law society on Huseyin Celil?
Where was the law society’s concern for Khadr before 2006?
Seems it wasn’t a big deal when the liberals were doing nothing.

Khadr is lucky to be alive, in previous wars he would have been shot on sight for breaking so many of the Geneva convention rules.

Now maybe he deserves a trial and maybe he doesn’t, but isn’t it odd how so many other Canadians held overseas don’t matter tot he liberals?
What’s so special about this guy?
Is it because you think you can score the most political point off his situation?

Thanks for picking up on this one Scott. It goes hand in hand with last weeks Canadian Law Society rebuke (what? 3rd time now) of Harper over Khadr.
Fascism is all to attractive to the ignorant but it’s mind blowing how large that segment of the Canadian population really is.

I’m going to await the highly enlightened and compassionate response form your BT trolling regulars before I tell you you are right. Even us libertarians and market anarchists can see that obvious move…
