Thought for the Day

[bcholmes]

If I were a left-of-centre party desperately seeking concrete differences with the Liberals, I’d be awfully interested in the case of Omar Khadr, the former child soldier whose abuse at Guantanamo Bay has by now been amply documented.

[...]

The Liberals are, of course, making a fuss about all this. But the problem for the Liberals is that when that video footage of Khadr's Guantanamo interrogation was shot, Jean Chrétien was the prime minister of Canada. Defending the Liberals' seriously late-breaking interest in the quality of treatment accorded Guantanamo prisoners is tricky, as Megapundit points out. This should, it seems to me, present an opportunity for the NDP, who could say — truthfully — "The Liberals let this happen and the Conservatives refuse to bring it to an end."

I think every Canadian should be required to watch the Khadr video.
