Across PEI the only area that held remembrance services on Monday 9 March was the town of Montague. The sole representative of our Government in attendance Senator Mike Duffy, a staunch supporter of Canada's military. Thank you senator for sharing this event , during your vacation.
It has become normal on PEI that the only event attended by any members of the Liberal Government are on Nov 11th. What a sad situation that members of a governing party cannot spare a moment for remembering our nations peacekeepers, nor attend Red Rallies.
On the case of war criminal Omar Khadr and the driver of Osama bin laden, the folllowing was released by the US authorities.
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - A former cook and driver for Osama bin Laden will serve out his sentence in a section of Guantanamo reserved for the best-behaved detainees under a plea agreement that also keeps the length of his confinement secret for now, military attorneys said Monday.
Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi, one of Guantanamo's longest-held prisoners, avoided a possible life sentence by striking a plea deal last month that also secured the first war-crimes conviction under President Barack Obama.
The military judge presiding over the case initially said Monday that al-Qosi's sentence would not be revealed until after his release. But a spokesman for the prosecutors, Navy Capt. David Iglesias, said later that the official overseeing the offshore system will announce the sentence once it is formally approved.
The case against al-Qosi is one of two approaching resolution in the Pentagon's system for prosecuting terrorism suspects at this U.S. Navy base in Cuba, which has yielded only four convictions since it was established by the Bush administration.
Canadian detainee Omar Khadr faces trial beginning Tuesday on charges including murder for the slaying of an American soldier in Afghanistan. The judge in his case refused Monday to exclude confessions that Khadr's team claimed were tainted by abuse including threats of rape.
