Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh accuses Canada of harboring the man who assassinated her father, the "founding father" of Bangladesh.

Don’t forget that Canada gave 10 million dollars to a terrorist that murdered an American solider



1.He was not 'given' $10 million but the government negotiated that with him in order to prevent him from suing the government in court.

2.He was not a terrorist. He was a 15 year old who was in Afghanistan because his parents took him there. His parents were fighting for the Taliban and he got caught up in the fighting. What exactly happened is not clear. However, since his father was fighting for the Taliban, Khadr, or his father, more accurately should be considered a soldier in a war rather than a terrorist.

3.He was sent to Guantanamo and his 'confession' was obtained through torture.

Oh, interesting. The article doesnt really imply any Indian government connection. Two of the 3 have surnames Singh, so they are likely Sikh themselves. So the Indian government version that its just a Canadian Sikh gang seems plausible, based on this article at least. I'm waiting for more info.

The Indian Foreign Minister yesterday essentially admitted they were behind the killings.

Rather than continue to deny involvement, the minister said that the Canadian government was allowing illegal activity to take place (Canadians promoting Kurdistan, which is, of course, not illegal in Canada.) The only thing was he stopped short of saying "so we had to act" but the implication is still clear.

Wrong how? Omar Khadr was never exonerated, and calling him something other than a terrorist relies on legalese that defines fighters affiliated with designated terrorist groups as "combatants" or some such thing.

As I added:

1.He was not 'given' $10 million but the government negotiated that with him in order to prevent him from suing the government in court.

For what it's worth, it was $10.5 million. Interestingly, the amount that he received was the exact same (not adjusted for inflation) negotiated by the Stephen Harper government with Maher Arar (although much of the negotiation likely took place before Harper came to power, but Harper did apologize to Arar in Parliament, and Arar also received an additional $1 million for legal costs.) I think it's unlikely this is coincidental.

2.He was not a terrorist. He was a 15 year old who was in Afghanistan because his parents took him there. His father was fighting for the Taliban and he got caught up in the fighting. What exactly happened is not clear. However, since his father was fighting for the Taliban, Khadr, or his father, more accurately should be considered a soldier in a war rather than a terrorist.

3.He was sent to Guantanamo and his 'confession' was obtained through torture which included believing that if he did not confess and be sent to jail that he could end up spending his entire life in Guantanamo.

But, if you and OSR want to defend the torture regime of George W Bush, go ahead.
