...We, unlike too many, remember terrorism is bred in the bone of Omar Khadr.
We remember how Jean Chretien used diplomatic leverage as PM to rescue Omar Khadr's father, Egyptian-born Amed Khadr, from the Pakistanis following his 1995 arrest for a deadly bombing in Islamabad.
We remember Ahmed Khadr then went to ground in Afghanistan, and met with al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, who reportedly attended his daughter's wedding in 1999, two years before unleashing 9/11.
We remember how Amed Khadr was killed in 2003 during a gun battle with Pakistani military, two years after his then 15-year-old son -- poster boy Omar -- was planting landmines in Afghanistan before being wounded in a gunfight with U.S. soldiers.
And, oh yes, after allegedly tossing the grenade that landed him in Gitmo for killing a U.S. medic, Sgt. Christopher Speer.
When was the last time anyone cried for Speer?...Good question. The Ceeb and other Canadian bleeders are far too busy blubbering for poor widdle Omar, a lefty cause celebre who would no doubt become a hero of sorts were he to be sent back. (Another good reason for keeping him where he is.)
Time to reprise this one, I think:
Welcome back,
Jihad was your ticket out.
Welcome back
To that same old place
Your Dad laughed about.
Well your family’s returned from Afghanistan.
And they're claimin' Osama is not their man.
Chillin’ down in Gitmo
(Chillin’ down in Gitmo)
You didn’t want to sit mo’
(You didn’t want to sit mo’).
Well, you needn’t be bereft
‘Cause those weasels on the Left
Want you ba-a-ack.
Welcome back, welcome back,
Welcome back...

The Sun editorial keep " Khadr out of Canada " succinctly conveys the logic behind that sentiment.
" Screw him.Let him be tried by the country that charged him, just as we try foreigners indicted for crimes here. " Hear-hear .
However don't hold your breath, the return of our prodigal son has become a divine mission in this country. On his return there are does solemnly preparing to dress him in fine robes { welfare } a ring { compensation } and the slaughter of the ' fattened calf ' for a celebratory feast. Our son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and now is found.
There are machinations to ensure Omar's repatriation into our society is with utmost respect to his Islamic roots and sensitised to the needs of his Muslim soul !
Strange how certain pictures of poor, poor, mistreated little Omar seem to have more profile than others, isn't it?
Here's one you never seem to see:
