On Nov 4, Obama-McCain who will take the Political Move To Release Canadian Terrorist Omar Khadr?

Barry Artiste Op/Ed

With 911 still on Americans minds, when November 4th sees a new administration, one wonders the fate of Canada’s 1st Islamic Terrorist, currently incarcerated in Guantanamo’s Prison for lobbing a grenade and murdering US Medic Sgt. Speer in Pakistan/Afghanistan firefight with US and Pakistani Forces conflict against Terrorists?

Many still think of Omar Khadr as a Child soldier, regardless that now he is a 22 year old man. Some may feel this once Child Soldier Omar Khadr will be released by a new US President and be sent home to Canada.

If it should happen, whether a release or continued detainment of Omar, It will be interesting regardless who takes the mantle of President as there will be those against it, and those for it.

Will it ever be brought up with the new president, or will Omar sit in prison, as no newly elected President wants to commit political suicide by taking a stance either way?

Of course, one can use the excuse of shutting down the prison as an excuse to release Omar Khadr, though my money is on the US Administration letting the court of law to take it’s own course and leaving the President out of it. If McCain’s administration released Khadr, Veterans and families of 911 will be incensed, though it may curry favour with the Liberals.

If Obama’s administration releases Khadr, it will be seen as a pro islamic President by Nutjob Right wingers and 911 victims families.

A double edged Jihadist sword no matter what either President elect decide to do. Below is my past story and Tina Kells past story on Omar Khadr and his close family ties to Bin Laden and Jihad.

Now Public Readers can make up their own minds on what a President should do to appease both left and right political wings and the American public . It would be interesting to get an American perspective on this story, whether Americans would be for or against Omar Khadr’s release? What would you think of your newly elected president if they made the decision?

Ah yes, Islam, the kind benevolent ideology many misinterpret to justify and a deadly ends to a Zealots means.

Khadr trial delayed again until January

Canwest News Service Published: Friday, October 24, 2008

The trial of Omar Khadr, the only Canadian imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, has been delayed again — until after a new U.S. administration takes over the White House in January.

The 22-year-old, who was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan, will not be tried until Jan. 26, a U.S. military judge ruled Friday.

It’s the second time the judge has delayed the trial, which was supposed to be held this month — three years after Khadr was formally charged.

The delay means Khadr may not face trial in Guantanamo Bay at all, since both U.S. presidential candidates, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain, have both said they want to shut down the detention camps in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
