Compensation in Afghanistan?

This article from Global News is well worth the read:

It will be interesting to see how long it takes the Opposition parties to make an issue of this in parliament.

18 days till Remembrance day and today the  PDF attachment, will tell you the story of how we almost lost the poem “ In Flanders Fields”.

I must admit I for one am happy that no plea bargain has been worked out for Omar Khadr. Today in the military court in Guantanamo Bay, he must face the consequences as a war criminal.

Global news also has a good article on the Khadr family.

Last but not least the tragic and dangerous leaks that Julian Assange has released are extremely volatile for the US troops and also for NATO soldiers, which includes our Canadian troops.

Joshua Key, who fled to Canada after serving seven months in the US Army is the so called leader of the US deserters trying to obtain permission to live in Canada. This  U.S. army deserter says he’s hoping the new WikiLeaks release of thousands of pages of classified documents, containing accusations of human-rights abuses during the Iraq war, will bolster his bid to remain in Canada.
