...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

Prisoners: The release of videos showing a then-16-year-old Omar Khadr being interrogated by Canadian security officers at Gitmo has had the effect his lawyers were hoping for: a big splash in the media; much national hand-wringing; sympathy writ large for the “boy soldier” crying out for mama whilst being probed by “heartless” CSIS agents.

At least Omar’s ma has the comfort of knowing that her son, though sleep-deprived, is still very much alive, and, depending on the outcome of his trial, may return “home” in due course. Contrast that with the experience of the parents of Ehud Golwasser and Eldad Regev, the Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hellzbollocks (a group that’s aces with Omar’s Taliban ma). For two years their parents have been through a living hell, not knowing whether their sons were alive or dead. Well, now they know: Ehud and Eldad are coming home in a wooden box.

You can be certain that during their time in captivity—however brief or long it may have been (and I have a feeling it was very brief)—they were not treated with anywhere near the same consideration as poor sleep-deprived, interrogated Omar Khadr.

If ever there was a compelling case for amendments to the Citizenship Act to a) permit broader citizenship revocation criteria, and b) to implement a 10 year "good- behaviour-or-lose-it qualification, the Khadr nest of vipers is it

Oh, and a prediction (small solace that it may be): Within five years, the Mossad will have iced Kuntar. He's now just another Islamist terrorist running around with a shoot-to-kill sign on his back- rather than an Israeli prisoner with all of his rights under the Israeli constitution.

Omar's ma has to be laughing her head off at us--embracing her and her Taliban family a citizens and now feeling really sorry for her 'cause of poor Omar being treated so badly by those awful Americans.

The sheer depravity and hate will be in full evidence when a "man" who murdered a four year old girl in cold blood is given a hero's welcome in Lebanon by not only the terrorist cowards of Hezbollah but the so-called pro-Western Prime Minister of Lebanon. For shame any person who supports the Palestinian/Islamic cause truly the cause of the sinister and evil.

No, no, he was "driven" to these bestial acts because of the "Occupation" and the "Naqba" and all the rest of that crapba.

"Within five years, the Mossad will have iced Kuntar. "

We can hope.
