Omar Khadr is not coming home yet – but the Supreme Court of Canada has moved his repatriation considerably closer.
In an 9-0 ruling this morning, the Court said that Canada violated Mr. Khadr's Charter rights by participating in illegal interrogation
IV. Conclusion
The appeal is allowed in part. Mr. Khadr?s application for judicial review is allowed in part. This Court declares that through the conduct of Canadian officials in the course of interrogations in 2003-2004, as established on the evidence before us, Canada actively participated in a process contrary to Canada?s international human rights obligations and contributed to Mr. Khadr?s ongoing detention so as to deprive him of his right to liberty and security of the person guaranteed by s. 7 of the Charter, contrary to the principles of fundamental justice. Costs are awarded to Mr. Khadr.

That sounds very much like under the Liberal watch to me.....I think Iggy and his party have some explainin to do!
Terrorists have more rights in Canada than Canadians do. So noted.
It states: "All Canadians'" Even if we don't like what they say or do.
The court said he doesn't have to act anyways.
I think they did:
But should the government fail to act, the court warned that it has the power to move more overtly to aid Mr. Khadr.
Yep, isn't it terrible that this is all Harpers fault eh andy? You are becoming quite the partisan voice on here.
Where did I say it's Harper's fault? It certainly is Harper's responsibility to deal with, and the court is limiting his options more and more. Proroguing this one just won't work.
Then Harper can ask the US to repatriate him to a Canadian prison for his sentence. Either way he's back in Canada.
I doubt if he would ask tho, and probably the Supreme court can't make him. They've done this with some lower profile prisoners, where they didn't allow the to be repatriatred, and I can't say I blame them.
If Khadhr comes to Canada, I would like to see him and the Khadhr women deported. Khadhr does fit the definition of a child soldier, but I don't really want him running around loose in the country. "Will no one rid us of this meddlesome muslim?"
