The trial of the Gitmo detainees (one Canadian) shows again P.M.Harper's wrong-headed thinking.

Omar Khadr, who was 15 years old (a child soldier) when captured in Afghanistan by American forces will be tried in an American court as a war criminal. His nutty father took him, as a 13 year old child to Afghanistan to fight against the Americans. What child of 13 would defy their father?
Right at this moment, there is a trial going on in the Supreme Court of Canada to decide whether the Canadian government should be forced to request the return of Khadr to Canadian soil for trial. All the other allied countries, (Australia, Great Britain e.g.) had their citizens turned over to them years ago by requesting it of the Americans.
Harper, as could be predicted, refused to follow this path and did it his own way....saying he did not wish to interfere in the workings of the American justice system....although I'm sure the U.S.A. would have preferred to be rid of Khadr.
As usual, Harper is tone-deaf and on the wrong side of this issue....the bastard!

I have to stress how horrified I am that this young man (he is now 22 or 23) has had his youth taken from him and is languishing in prison due to the sins of his now disceased father. I hope I'm making it clear that my only reason for some modicum of sympathy is because of his age when taken to fight by his father.

I don't wish harper any harm but I do wish he would drop dead.
Just a small, quiet heart attack would do.
