Actually, the NDP has been pushing this issue for months, along with (rare) like-minded Blocistas and (rarer still) Liberals.

Joe Comartin, Viviane Barbot, and Dominique Leblanc had a multi-partisan press conference in early 2008 demanding Khadr’s repatriation.

After some persistent work by Mr. Comartin, all three opposition parties passed a non-binding resolution on the last day of the past Parliamentary session demanding Harper exercise his responsability as PM and do what every other allied head of government has done: bring our citizens home from the legal and moral blackhole that is the military prison at Guantanamo.

Wells should stay on top of his issues more. The tapes were big news, but this has been happening for some time, mainly due to the efforts of our distinguished MPs messrs Comartin and Marston.

Your point about federal liberals being value-less hacks is well taken though. Nobody heard a word about this human rights affront when Dion was in cabinet.

I hear everyone calling Omar Khadr, the former child soldier. First was Canada at war and was he defending his Country. Secondly, how many more Canadians are presently Child Soldiers? Maybe we should be evaluating all the Islamic Families who are teaching their children these practices, as they should be charged with child endangerment. See what the uproar would be if the Canadian Government went into Islamic homes and assess what the children were being taught. Finally, how is the Khadr family earning an income in Canada presently?
