Khadr's rehabilitation undermined by Tories, Dallaire says

Liberal Senator Roméo Dallaire is accusing the Harper government of undermining efforts to help former Guantanamo inmate Omar Khadr reintegrate into Canadian society.

"I think they are creating a scenario for him so it's almost impossible for him to reintegrate in society in Canada, in at least a fair chance of having that opportunity," Dallaire told CBC News on Monday. "They continue to demonize him."

Dallaire has been a vocal critic of the Harper government's handling of Khadr's case, including the delay in his repatriation.

In July, Dallaire set up a petition asking Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to honour the plea bargain deal Khadr agreed to in 2010, accepting responsibility for a U.S. army medic's death in 2002 in exchange for his return to Canada to serve the remainder of his sentence.

It seems time that the chickens come home to roost and a scorched earth policy if needed.
