CBC News - Toronto - Khadr lawyer offers to house him in Edmonton

The lawyer for Omar Khadr told CBC News on Wednesday he's willing to do whatever it takes — including have his client live with him in Edmonton — to get Khadr out of detainment in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.......

..... Edney is travelling to Cuba on Thursday and will try to negotiate conditions of Khadr's release.

"I'm going to push for whatever it takes to get him home," Edney told the CBC's Stephanie Matteis. "I've never met anybody in my life who has been so abused, so abandoned."

Edney said he has a four-point plan that, if approved, would allow Khadr to be returned to Canada. Khadr's family lives in Toronto, but Edney said his plan is to house Khadr with him in Edmonton.

"We will provide education," Edney said. "We will provide him with a home, he will not reside with his own family, we will provide him with psychological and medical help and we will rely upon the comments and advice given to us by those experts on how best to assist Omar Khadr.".....

Well he seems to want to take full responsibility for Omar to the point of letting him live with him.... an interesting proposal and since he probably knows Omar personally, better then anybody else from working with him since 2002, that's quite the message he's trying to send.

Apparently he trusts him enough to have him live with him.

Thoughts?

I don't have any real objections to that if the US agreed as well. I think there would have to a be a strict no-contact clause so he isn't brainwashed by his family again.

I'll bite (even though it doesn't exactly relate to the topic at hand)

To put it simply, a Freedom Fighter is a Terrorist fighting for the same cause as your government.

Kind of like the difference between a Pirate and a Privateer..... AKA: Very little difference except one is backed/paid by a government to do what they do against their common enemy.
