He's Baaaaaak...

And the lefties are falling all over themselves:

NDP, Liberals slam handling of Omar Khadr case

Keep it up, folks. Every time you open your traps, you make the outcome of the next election even more certain. (CTV is getting an ear-full from their readers in the comments, too. Hope the Lib/Dip compact is reading it. No, actually, I don't. I'd rather see them relegated to the garbage heap of history's bad ideas, so we can have the pleasure of throwing them out with the trash.)

Khadr could enrol at Edmonton university after prison sentence ends, official says
"Omar Khadr returned to Canada on Saturday, but a small Edmonton Christian university wouldn’t say if the move brings him closer to one day studying there."

"Arlette Zinck, an English professor at King’s, visited Khadr at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in April and May as part of an effort to rehabilitate the Canadian, who has been convicted of terrorism offences.

Zinck, who met with Khadr for six or seven hours a day for lessons during two visits, began corresponding with him in 2008 when his lawyers were Edmontonians Dennis Edney and Nate Whitling."

"Students and professors at King’s became interested in Khadr’s case after Edney addressed a class on legal issues.

At a sentencing hearing in 2010, Khadr, now 26, said he would like to attend King’s. He stopped his formal schooling in Grade 8.(Emphasis mine.)

An informal offer has been made to pay Khadr’s tuition if he studies at the school."
No comments allowed under this article, though. Just as well. They probably wouldn't print mine.
