Where Should Omar Khadr Serve His Sentence?

Today's poll question; do you think that Omar Khadr should serve his prison sentence in a Canadian prison? You may have noticed that despite Obama campaigning on the promise of closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, Gitmo is still open for business. You'd think if it is good enough for Bernardo it should be good enough for Khadr, but once he is back on Canadian soil, if our left leaning Supreme Court rules that he should never have been imprisoned in the first place, can we even legally keep him in custody at that point? I would suspect that the motive of the guilty plea was to try and get him to serve his sentence in Canada, then once he's back on Canadian soil, fight to have him freed. What is the probability that Khadr is released shortly after returning to Canada?

Canadians are not eager to have Khadr released into their neighbourhood, but do you mind if he is locked up in a Canadian prison? A year ago I ran the poll question:

WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH OMAR KHADR LIVING NEXT DOOR?

No (83%)
Yes (8%)
Decline to answer for fear of Jihad (8%)


The bottom line is that Canadians don't want this guy moving into their neighbourhood, as much as Bob Rae wants to paint as a child soldier and a victim. I suppose my next poll question should be "do you think Omar Khadr is a terrorist or victim?"

  1. Have him serve his sentence in Afghanistan

  2. He could help work off some time if he volunteers as a minesweeper in Afghanistan wearing an Uncle Sam outfit?

    (Just saying)

  3. Omar should spend the rest of sentence hopefully in the States which is unlikely.

    In canada however he has homes where he can spend his time. CBC, CTV, NDP, BLOC, LIBERALS, Jean Chretien where he will find great comfort and probably run for one of those parties. They asked for him, they have him at their homes.

    I guarantee you that OMAR will be interviewed by his friends in the media

  4. Should have been a third choice for the happy little terrorist, now that he has finally admitted his guilt. If they bring him back to Canada can we use him as the "poster boy" for changing the parole system?

  5. If I lived in the same building as a judge or lawyer I would LOVE IT if Khadr would live next door to me. That way the scumbags that supported him would bear the same misfortune as I do.

    But since I do not live in the same building as a lawyer or judge (as I am not a greedy, millionaire, low life) I would rather Khadr rot in Gitmo until he dies.
