Omar Khadr: Canadian Mandela

No surprises Judy Rebick can't spell "Khadr" correctly.

"I am hopeful that Omar Khadar [sic] will emerge from this nightmare as a strong and powerful figure along the lines of Nelson Mandela. On Saturday, I will MC a rally for civil liberties in Canada in face of the police state established to protect the G20 rulers. There is no single Canadian whose civil liberties have been more violated than Omar Khadar."

Background: "Tears for a terrorist."

“He was waiting and when U.S. personnel got close enough, he popped up and threw a hand grenade and shot his pistol, and that was the hand grenade that killed Chris Speers,” Sgt. Morris recalled on a Canadian talk show. Little wonder that Morris rejects the argument that Khadr’s age somehow mitigates his actions. “[Those were] not the actions of a fifteen year old that day,” said Morris. “I have a fifteen-year-old son. Omar Khadr chose to restart that firefight after all his comrades were dead."
