If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground,
it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it
bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.

The Conservative regime in
complicity with the mainstream media of this nation, for many years have
manipulated the Canadian public and demonstrated their racial hatred against
the young Omar Khadr. The truth is Omar at the time of his capture in
Afghanistan he was a 15 years old boy which was protected by the Protocols of
the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims
of International Armed Conflicts, adopted in 1977: the Roma Statute of the
International Criminal Court (1998), the Optional Protocol to the Convention on
the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict (2000)
and the Paris Principles (2007). The treatment and torture of Omar Khadr by the
Guantanamo guards and the Canadian intelligence service is questionable? Omar
Khadr will bring the truth of the motives for plead guilty...

block former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr from being released on bail.
Alberta Court of Appeal Justice Myra Bielby ruled the government had not
proven that allowing him out now would harm Canada's international treaty
obligations or pose a safety risk. Her ruling comes after Tuesday's last-ditch
attempt by Ottawa to keep the 28-year-old Khadr behind bars.A lower court judge
had granted Khadr bail last month while he appeals his war crimes conviction in
the United States.
Khadr is now
expected to be released later today under conditions that include wearing a
tracking bracelet.
It will be
his first taste of freedom in almost 13 years — since his capture as a wounded
15-year-old in Afghanistan in July 2002.
