Barry Artiste Op/Ed

Both our National TV News Stations CBC and CTV have reported disturbing news in the Omar Khadr affair, that Arar was also present with him at an al qaeda training camp. If this turns out to be true, then this is breaking considering the Canadian government compensated Arar 10 million dollars for their complicity in sending him to Syria and imprisonment for 2 years as a home grown terrorist, The Arar case made worldwide headlines, touting once again an innocent Canadian was sent to a foreign land on trumped up terrorism charges. Could this be true or is Khadr making a play in saving his own Bacon. The trial of Omar Khadr continues to unfold new evidence North Americans and the world were never privy to until now. Perhaps Obama may delay his opinion on Gitmo, who knows.

Below is the CBC link and the CTV Link

When Omar Khadr was still a teenager, he identified fellow Canadian Maher Arar as someone who had attended al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, according to the testimony of an FBI agent.

At Khadr's trial in Guantanamo Bay on Monday, Robert Fuller said Toronto-born Khadr had picked out Arar from various ID photographs, during interrogations in 2002. He was 15 years old at the time, and wounded by shrapnel.

That would need bullet prove evidence. If any of it was true, it would be like an earth quake.

There is some thing strange though since he did only admitted it to Fuller the FBI Agent.

This is what the CGBC had to say about it.

"Les événements se sont bousculé lundi à l'audience préliminaire au procès d'Omar Khadr, le seul Canadien détenu à la prison américaine de Guantanamo.

Lors de l'audience, un agent du FBI a déclaré qu'Omar Khadr lui a dit avoir vu le Canadien Maher Arar dans un camp d'entraînement d'Al-Qaïda en Afghanistan.

Selon l'agent Robert Fuller, Omar Khadr a identifié Maher Arar à partir de photographies qui lui ont été présentées lors d'interrogatoires plusieurs mois après son arrestation en Afghanistan, à l'été 2002."

Politcally correct Canadians have been played for fools these past eight years since 9/11. Canada is a major funding and organising centre for their schemes and the country is played for a patsy by militant islamists. Other countries have known this and have pressured Canada privately to grow a set.
