"A press release issued by the Islamic Observation Centre in London and circulated on an Arabic Internet site announced the death of Mr. Khadr, calling him a "founding member" of al-Qaeda...When Mr. Khadr was arrested in Pakistan for his alleged role in the 1995 bombing of the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, Jean Chrétien, the Prime Minister, intervened in the case. Mr. Khadr was released shortly thereafter."

If you are a Canadian citizen who gets in trouble overseas, the government will only help you if you are a terrorist.

Coop this was that raid on the village ....in Pakistan......last week.

[Coop]

Took a little longer than I expected, but we're finally starting to see some names attached to that raid. You didn't see "Bin Laden" in there anywhere, did ya? :-) Thanks for the flag.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the ping, seamole!

Canadian intelligence officials believe Mr. Khadr is a senior al-Qaeda member closely tied to Osama bin Laden. Three of his Canadian sons -- Omar, Abdurahman and Abdullah -- are also suspected members of al-Qaeda.

When Mr. Khadr was arrested in Pakistan for his alleged role in the 1995 bombing of the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, Jean Chrétien, the Prime Minister, intervened in the case. Mr. Khadr was released shortly thereafter.

Chretien, an Islamic group in free England, a free reporter living in a free nation interviewing the evildoers family - sympathize with the terrorists?

Appeasing terrorists, bad longterm plan. Potential quagmires being created in UK and Canada, ping!

 Thanks, Tonkin!

If I'm not mistaken... I think I remember being told that "we will hunt the Terrorist down one-by-one and bring them to justice". I wonder if the Democrats were listening?

[ChinaThreat]

I think OBL's death is waiting to be released in time for a summer boost in the Bush campaign polls. He's dead as a door nail. Has been for a while.

[Coop]

He's dead as a door nail.

I wish the intelligence agencies/resources shared your assessment.

[MEG33]

There is no benefit to withholding the news of OBL's death.I like Rumsfield's assessment..He is dead or he is alive!

[Grampa Dave]

Makes one wonder how much Chrétien and his family got paid for Chrétien's release of this Islamofascist killer.

"We will hunt the Terrorist down one-by-one and bring them to justice". I wonder if the Democrats were listening?"

The rats are listening to the sound of money from the Opecker Princes, Muslim organizations in America, the French, the Russians and others who prosper from Islamofascism and Terrorism.

If you are a Canadian citizen who gets in trouble overseas, the government will only help you if you are a terrorist.

They will also fix you up again if hurt during one of your terrorist activities.

Mr. Khadr returned to Canada in 1992 after he was wounded by shrapnel near Kabul. Once he had recovered at Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital, he returned to Pakistan with his wife and children.

[Angelus Errare]

This guy ranked pretty high in the hierarchy, he's at least as far up as Tawfiq Attash Khallad, or just below the immediate first tier.

Excellent, Smithers, excellent!

[Coop]

A dead terrorist is a good terrorist.

[BushisTheMan]

Cretien is Canada's version of HillyBilly Clinton. Soon the conservatives in Canada will backlash against the Libs as is happening here in the USA. Sooner would be better than later.

Sometimes Meg, it is a good idea to keep a capture secret in order to exploit info gained during the capture & interrogation before bad guy associates can react. However China, I do not have the level of cynicism that you apparently have regarding the motives of the Bush administration.

[MEG33]

That I can see..but not to hike the ratings!

[sarasmom]

They might want to hurry it along.
I have no problem adding Canada to my French list.
I wont enjoy it as much, and I do know that some parts of Canada are not openly advocating the destruction of my country.
Sorry Alberta!
Secede.

Bump!
