Fox News<\/a> is reporting today that a Canadian judge has released Omar Khadr<\/a>, a Canadian citizen<\/a>, who in 2002 threw the grenade that killed U.S. Army<\/a> medic Christopher Speer<\/a> as Speer and four others cleared a building in the Khost province<\/a> following an air raid. Khadr was fifteen at the time.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cOmar Khadr is a convicted Al Qaeda<\/a> terrorist, guilty of war crimes,” Ezra Levant<\/a>, author of \u201cThe Enemy Within: Terror, Lies, and the Whitewashing of Omar Khadr<\/a>,\u201d told FoxNews.com. “He murdered a U.S. medic in cold blood. A jury sentenced him to 40 years in prison, but President Obama<\/a> offered him a plea deal for just eight years, and now parole will reduce that further. This isn\u2019t sufficient, especially given that Khadr has never publicly renounced terrorism or Al Qaeda, or his own father\u2019s terrorism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alberta Court of Appeal<\/a> Justice Myra Bielby said Thursday there is no evidence of risk in releasing Khadr, now 28, who has been serving his time in an\u00a0Innisfail, Alta., prison, after being moved from <\/span>Guantanamo Bay.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we release prisoners from Guantanamo, we are no longer in control of their prison terms. Because Khadr has never renounced terrorism, I have no doubt that he will rejoin the ‘war on terror’ in some capacity fairly quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
