[Toronto Star] Khadr’s lawyers hope the short clip of the video posted online today will create an outcry in Canada and pressure Prime Minister Stephen Harper to demand that the U.S. halt their war crimes prosecution of Khadr, the last Western detainee still imprisoned in Guantanamo.
Ottawa officials had been bracing for weeks for the video’s public release.
“I hope Canadians will be outraged to see the callous and disgraceful treatment of a Canadian youth,” Edney said in an interview.

[Blatchford, Globe and Mail] It’s that one spring day in 2006, the leader played for a group of young men a nauseating beheading video on his laptop in a restaurant on Danforth Avenue, a main Toronto drag. The restaurant had a big picture window. Even if it was otherwise empty, presumably the owner or someone in authority was present. Yet no one appears to have uttered a word in protest.
