I think it's time to spring him loose. If an A$$hole like Conrad Black can get out in 61/2 years, Omar should have been released years ago. If he did in fact murder someone (which is highly dubious) he should have been charged and tried at the time. After 8 years of torture, further incarceration is Bullsh*t.

Conrad didn't kill anyone.

I agree, he should be put on a plane bound for Canada and sprung loose somewhere over the eastern seaboard, from 30,000 feet up.

Good call JLM...:cool:

Conrad Black was a nice person who turned his back on Canada for a title Lord Black of Cross harbour

Or indirectly.

Oh, so you don't think that someone who is used to a certain standard of living that finds himself out on the street at 70 years old won't suffer a diminished life expectancy. Get with the real world.

Ummm.... a bit more has happened since then. :-?

But to the topic, yes, bring him back. This would have all been done and over with years ago if they just dragged him through the already existing legal processes, found him guilty or not, and sent him to jail.

Instead, we have to continually hear about this in the news every time something happens or doesn't.... and then it starts all over again with one side saying to bring him home, others saying to let him rot because he deserves it, and others pulling the sarcasm of saying "Yeah bring him home to his hero's welcome and parade" as if that's going to guilt anybody into changing their minds.

Whatever the position someone has, I think most would agree to just get this damn thing over with and be done with it so we don't have to hear about it for much longer.

If he's guilty or not, chances are he'll released because of time served, he'll come back to Canada, write a book, make millions.... a movie is then made, and he becomes even richer.

No humour at all. And no parachute.

I have littel use for the Khadar family, at all.

There is a fine line between free speech and sedition, they've crossed it.

I submit we bring back hanging and make them the test case.

Torture?... Well, that's what Omar and his lawyer say and as we all know, terrorists and defence lawyers are at the top of the ole ethics heap.

Rather than get into a grudge-match on our own versions of the events, how would you feel about Omar standing trial for the alleged misdeeds? To be more specific, seeing how the alleged offence occurred in Afghanistan, perhaps we can transfer him there to stand trial by Afghans.

Would that suit you?

Suits me just fine. And I won't even suggest throwing him out of the plane on the way there. But sometimes sh!t happens...;-)

I like your idea re: "sh*t happens", but I'm afraid that there are some people that might call that torture... (the prudes)

How about this: The windows on the plane's exterior get pretty dirty during flight and they don't just clean themselves... Maybe Omar can earn his way there by "volunteering" to be the in-flight window cleaner.

We should bring him back, albeit with harsh restrictions placed upon him:

- No contact with his immediate family
- Forbidden to profit from his "story"
- Passport confiscated
- Mandatory counseling
- Probation for 10+ years

I like that idea, I'm a stickler for cleanliness and a stalwart believer in paying ones way through life. Or death, which ever the case may be...:lol:
