Certainly some who espouse terrorism, as Citizens of Convenience, once caught flee safely to the warm democratic busom of Canada, a Democracy they were taught to destroy by all means possible.
Mommie Dearest Maha Elsamnah says she feels a deep loss for her son, yeah, but on the other hand, that deep loss, seems to be that he got caught in the first place, as she and her family sent him as a 15 year teen to al qaeda training camp. What mother sends their child to engage in a war? Hence why I do not buy her "I feel a loss for my son" Crap!
With the release of the interrogation video of Omar Khadr, the family wait to view a video of their son, imprisoned in Guantanamo for the last few years. A poll taken by Canadians on a CBC Web Poll whether to repatriate Omar Khadr back home to Canada, was met with a Majority who stated with a resounding NO!
Many will disagree with this, mainly lefty politicians, who on the other hand seem to overlook the fact, the mother of Omar Khadr, willingly let her son attend al Qaeda training camps, let her son join in firefights against US forces, in which her own family members were killed. As a Coup de Grace in all this, Omar Khadr, who as a teen certainly knows right from wrong was accused of lobbing a grenade at a US soldier, a non combatant, a Medic, killing him. Thus depriving this soldier and his family of their freedom of life, land, liberty. A freedom the US will ensure Omar Khadr will never see, and Canadians agree.
The media state the following about the Khadr family:
The Khadrs were once personal friends of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden, a relationship fostered by the family patriarch.
In a TV interview several years ago, Elsamnah angered Canadians by expressing sympathy for al-Qaida, but said yesterday that shouldn't cloud the suffering inflicted on her teenage son.
Below is another tasty tidbit link of info on Mommie Dearest Khadr, while on her supposedly Humanitarian jaunts to the Middle East, Mommie Dearest Khadr was a frequent visitor to Passport Canada, seems every time Mommie would leave Canada, she would conveniently lose her Canadian Passport every time and demand a new one. Passport Canada (Not born yesterday) finally told her no more passports for you! Yeah, those who feel sorry for this family, certainly need to give their "Heads a Big F**king Shake!"

Khadr mom waits for tape
Mother 'scared to see' video of interrogation today
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO -- The mother of Omar Khadr, who has spent nearly six years behind bars in Guantanamo Bay for allegedly killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan, was bracing herself yesterday for the spectacle of her son's jailhouse interrogation at the hands of Canada's spy agency.
Maha Elsamnah told The Canadian Press she doesn't know if she'll be able to bear to watch the seven-hour video of the interrogation, which was conducted in February 2003 -- just six months after the 15-year-old Khadr was badly injured in a firefight with American troops.
"I'm a mother -- I'm scared to see it," an emotional Elsamnah said in an interview.
"I hope I can gather all my strength. It's not something nice to see. I hope I can handle it."
The release of the video, expected today, comes amid fresh accounts of abuse the Canadian teen suffered at the hands of his American captors that appear to have finally touched a nerve in Canada.
