As I said, it depends on how you ask the question. If you phrase the question from the point of view of Canada coming to rescue of one of its citizens, or you phrase it from the point of view of Canada expending a great deal of time and energy to rescue a terrorist. It's all in how you spin the question. Surely you know that.
There are something in the order of 400 Canadian Nationals being held in various jails for various crimes around the world.
What makes this one so special?

Ummm I can't write anything from an NDP point of view, never voted NDP in my life so sorry.
Now we'll go with the fear position, maybe we should get us a terror alert traffic light like the US had/has.
This has what to do with anything? Oh no I can't find a documentary they're censoring it, I hate CBC, they're the devil.. Watch it on PBS instead, it's quite easy to find.

Actually I like the CBC.
NDP bias and all.
Thanks for the link.

Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply around the world. We have no jurisdiction over the Americans. This has nothing to to with upholding the Constitution and the Supreme Court would agree.
Omar Khadr is not worth it.
