Omar Khadre
- Thread starter landscaper
- Start date
There are plea negotiations going on, but no deal - at least according to the CBC (and the Globe and Mail).
There is also a Canadian on death row in Montana for the cold blooded murder of two Americans who wants back in Canada. It is amazing how they all scream "I AM CANADIAN" when they try to avoid justice in a foreign jurisdiction. Maybe all those new prisons aren't just for TERBIES, but some space will be reserved for terrorists and murderers as well.
The canadian charter only recognizes one class of canadian citizens, not two or three based upon religion or whatever.
Kahdr was born in Canada and that unfortunatly makes him our problem once the americans are done with him. Just what we do with him is a question that i have no answer for, I don't think he is safe to release into the public, but once his sentence is finished he is free to move in beside anybody on this board.
But, did you know that not all Canadian citizens are equal when it comes to getting the Old Age Security pension? (I'm sure there are other examples as well.) Khadr went aboard and commited crimes abroad and was captured in the act. Not our problem.
You must be a liberal social worker for immigrants. You're welcome to go back to whichever 'stan' they're from with them.
BTW, it's Canadian, but you must have been trying to create a new world order with your spelling error.
And if you are ever accused of a crime abroad, I suppose you feel it is ok if your government abandons you....? Man ... I think the red on our flag must represent the rednecks.
How can he NOT get pretrial time? The process at Gitmo is horrendously flawed, but if he's denied pretrial time that's an immediate appeal to the US SC and a quick and obvious win for him.
Moreover as soon as he's in Canada he's probably entitled to apply to have his pretrial time counted as 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 based on the miserable conditions under which he was held (i.e., torture).
That would be fine with me, but only if he and his family agreed to leave the country and renounce Canadian citizenship upon his release.
His prison time in the states would be federal time for which there is no parole or I believe pretrial time. Any transfer to Canada would be dependant on the prosecuting body there. If the prosecuting body makes the deal that he not be given pretrial time or he will not be transfered I expect the goct will agree just to keep this menace off the streets, or if they state that they can not guarentee the full sentence the prosecution might refuse to transfer him. The transfer requires the agreement of the prosecuting body, that was put into the agreement to ensure that people did not request the transfers for the purpose of aleiviating their sentences.
