“Khadr Going Free, and Public”
by IPT News • Jan 30, 2012 at 1:36 pm
SNIPPET: “Canadian terrorist Omar Khadr, a Guantanamo Bay prisoner who pled guilty to a litany of al-Qaida terrorism charges in October 2010, soon will be released to Canada. As the Toronto Sun’s Ezra Levant puts it in his new book, The Enemy Within, Khadr’s reception by Canadian liberals will cover up his crimes and salute him as the victim of American abuses.
Khadr was captured in Afghanistan in July 2002, after throwing grenades at American soldiers, and was discovered with video of his helping to build and places anti-vehicle mines for Afghan resistance fighters. Khadr, who was 15 at the time of his arrest, spent the next eight years in Guantanamo interrogations, awaiting his American trial.”
SNIPPET: “As Levant points out, Khadr’s superstar status among Canadian left-wing intellectuals means that he will likely be asked to address some of Canada’s most anti-American and anti-Semitic student audiences. Despite his crimes, Canada’s government is essentially giving him a “Get-out-of-jail-free card,” and a podium to boot.”
