Bring Khadr Home
Needless to say, I agree with the Globe editorial. Yes, the Liberals were craven, cowardly and incompetent. Yes, they did nothing to help Khadr. Yes, they deserve all the scorn in the world. But, they are no longer the government and the Tories are no longer powerless. The ball is in Harper's court and he seems content to play the "I'm just the PM, what can I do?", card. People should remember this when he puffs out his chest and brags about his "leadership", in the upcoming election.

Harper changes his rationale for not doing anything about Khadr from time to time and this time he is simply trying to deflect attention from his own dereliction from duty to the Liberals. The sins of the Liberals are in the past Harper's are in the present and can easily be remedied.
ReplyDeleteThere is also another reason now to doubt that Khadr threw the grenade that killed a U.S. soldier. Some evidence has been presented that it was a friendly fire incident and that it was a U.S. grenade.
