Ex-diplomat slams Ottawa for foot-dragging in Omar Khadr transfer
Under his October 2010 plea deal, Mr. Khadr, 25, became eligible to transfer to a Canadian prison last fall. Mr. Toews, however, has steadfastly refused to authorize the transfer, saying Mr. Khadrs potential threat to Canadians needs to be evaluated.
In their application, which they hope will be heard quickly, Mr. Khadrs Canadian lawyers they have been in Guantanamo Bay this week briefing him on the application call the delay unreasonable.
The minister has breached the principles of natural justice and deprived the applicant of procedural fairness, their application states.
The ministers delay in rendering a decision ... is an abuse of process.

Vic Toews might be my least favourite member of Parliament. He might actually be my least favourite person.
