Now I have no time for excuses whether from Conservatives or Liberals when it comes to the the Khader case.
Despite all the talk here , here and here in regards to the latest comments on the Khadr case by Conservative spokesperson Kory Teneycke….
The elephant in the room that everybody seems to be ignoring…
“The Liberals let this happen and the Conservatives refuse to bring it to an end.”
Both the Con’s and Lib’s dropped the ball in the name of political expedience,flip sides of the same coin the saying goes.
And all hand wringing/excuses aside,that fact is not going to be changed one iota.
The irony of Libs & Con’s attempting to occupy the moral & political high ground on this issue is laughable.
In hindsight its all just politics….
Both sides could care less that Khadr’s rights were violated,indeed,the actions of both sides have demonstrated as much.
The klaxon blares,damage control,damage control,pass the buck,pass the buck…
If I was to be asked my suggestion to Liberals would be,to put a sock in it, Canadian voters are not stupid.
The best Liberals can hope for,is that…
The continuing Conservative ineptness,in regards to their handling of the Omar Khadr file,might distract Cnd voter’s attention away from the Liberal’s own ineptness in regards to this issue.
Either that,or show some leadership and admit Liberal actions were wrong,anything less just rings hollow.

Hey! The NDP has been quite vocal on the Khadr case since his capture. They continue to demand that Canada live up to our commitments to UN treaties (rights of child, child soldier conventions). They also wrote to Secy of State Condi Rice demanding that Khadr be repatriated to Canada. They consistently called for action when the Liberals were in power and continue to act as an effective opposition voice now that the Cons hold the reigns. Cheers!

I agree the only party that had a consistent position on Khadr has been the NDP.
