LUCAS OLENIUK/TORONTO STAR Abdullah Khadr was arrested by the RCMP Saturday on a warrant from U.S. authorities and his mother, Zaynab Elsamnah, right, was taken into custody.

Canada Ping!

Please FReepmail me to get on or off this Canada ping list.

The Mounties always get their man, King!
Well, pretty much...

“I just want everybody to know I have nothing to do with anything,” he said in an interview earlier this month.

Sort of a broad based blanket denial.

[Coop]

Sheesh. This Khadr family story reminds me of Krekar over in Norway. Arrest, release, arrest, release...

[fanfan]

Maybe he's one Canadian who doesn't want to visit Cuba this year. Hee, hee.

[Candor7]

There will be a bail hearing and then an extradition hearing.

I will be surprised if the extradirion hearing is successful in ordering this piece of trash to the USA.

[csvset]

Khadr is being held at Toronto's West Detention Centre and will appear in court this morning for a bail hearing.

Please keep us updated on the outcome of his bail hearing.

See ya ... and take your mama with ya.

up on Brokeback Mountain, King."

Sheesh. The RCMP might as well say, "We only made this arrest because of the Americans. We wouldn't have done this otherwise."

[fanfan]

OK.

We're busy with elections up here, but I'll try.

"He was arrested last night after agreeing to meet an RCMP officer at a McDonald's near his Scarborough apartment, his relatives said last night."

Did they catch him mid-way through a double order "Mc-Rib" sandwich????

Those Mounties that had their pictures taken with that cell phone better watch their !##$#. They may get a visit they and I don't want.

[fanfan]

LOL.

With a side order of bacon left over from the mornings bacon and egg McMuffins.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

As Sgt. Preston was heard to say to his faithful dog at the end of every show, "Well, King, this case is closed."

[Thermalseeker]

Sheesh. The RCMP might as well say, "We only made this arrest because of the Americans. We wouldn't have done this otherwise."

With their deeply entrenched appeasement mentality, they probably actually think this is going to protect them from a terrorist attack....

[Ashamed Canadian]

Everytime I see that smug little Khadr face, I just want to punch it.

[GMMAC]

Anyone want to bet that, after the Martin-Clinton love-fest in Montreal and subsequent msm abuse of his Ambassador, W's now finally opted to play hardball?

This Khadr thing just beautiful: both in timing and impact!
Martin plainly can't win:
If he drags his heels on the extradition request, it'll cost him large in the hinterland.
If he cooperates promptly, then lots of urban lefties will go NPP or simply sit out Jan. 23rd.
LOVE IT!

BTW, if I'm right and 'hardball' has commenced, watch for something along the lines of leaked U.S. Intelligence on Kanuckistan-based Liberal-coddled terror cells coming out at some point once the campaign resumes after Christmas.

Go Mounties!
