The federal government's file on Omar Khadr contains faulty information based on a memo prepared by a senior policy analyst for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, internal documents obtained by The Canadian Press suggest.
Among other things, the government alleges the late terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden was an accomplice of a 15-year-old Khadr, and that the Canadian citizen killed two Afghan militia men.
I have followed this case from it's earliest beginnings primarily because of the position of the United States and Canada on child soldiers. Neither country stood by and defended Khadar as such. The commanding officer involved in the fire fight on that ominous day reported that Khadar could not have thrown the grenade due to his severe injuries.
Despite the facts presented tn the military courts in the US Vic Toews department has taken it upon themselves to fabricate outright lies creating a monster that does not exist.
"There is no evidence whatsoever to support these false allegations," Khadr's lawyer, Dennis Edney, said from Edmonton on Monday.
"Even the Canadian government is aware these accusations are baseless, as it had a representative from DFAIT present throughout the sham trial."
Keryluk refused to discuss her memo, which was signed off on by senior department officials as it worked its way up the political chain.
Falsifying information to discredit and justify holding Khadar in prison because of some perverted desire to pretend it is in the best interest of Canadians terrifies me even more than the release of Omar Khadar.
There is a clear and present danger in Ottawa and it is the Conservative government under Stephen Harper where human rights, freedom of speech and suppression of information has become the norm rather than the exception.
Be Afraid my Fellow Canadians
Be Very Afraid
Of a Government Who Believes They and Only They are
"Above the Law"
