Comments on: Continuing Efforts to Bring Omar Khadr Home http://www.slaw.ca/2008/12/15/continuing-efforts-to-bring-omar-khadr-home/ Canada's online legal magazine Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:30:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Patrick Ross http://www.slaw.ca/2008/12/15/continuing-efforts-to-bring-omar-khadr-home/comment-page-1/#comment-701893 Patrick Ross Wed, 31 Dec 2008 02:47:58 +0000 http://www.slaw.ca/?p=5179#comment-701893 Khadr absolutely SHOULD be returned to Canada. But he has to be handled carefully upon his return. One has to remember that Khadr was indoctrinated into Islamic militant ideology. If he won't renounce that philosophy so that he even <i>can</i> be rehabilitated, then he should be stripped of his citizenship and deported along with the rest of his family (most of whom should have been deported long ago). As a Canadian citizen, Khadr deserves the opportunity to be handled justly. But he is not owed the opportunity to be unconditionally set loose where he may well be dangerous. We don't have to like it, but we do have to be realistic about this. Khadr absolutely SHOULD be returned to Canada. But he has to be handled carefully upon his return.
