Check one of the links below for more on the Khadr family, including Zaynab Khan. CBC presented a program on the Khadrs some time in the last year. Both mother and daughter were interviewed by Terence McKenna, if I have remembered correctly. Check for it.

When Zaynab Khadr slipped quietly into Toronto on February 17, officials seized her pictures, papers, laptop and cellphone. What they couldn’t seize was whatever the 25-year-old daughter of the Prime Minister Jean Chretien-rescued Ahmed Said Khadr carries about in her head.

The late Ahmed Said Khadr, officially identified as Canada’s highest-ranking member of Al Qaeda, was set free from a Pakistani prison, when Prime Minister Jean Chretien intervened on his behalf.

Terrorist returns: Peter MacKay urges Ottawa to consider revoking citizenship Stewart Bell, Feb. 26, 05, National Post

TORONTO - One of Canada's most notorious terrorist leaders has returned home to Montreal after serving four years in a French prison for his role in an international jihadist network.

Fateh Kamel, a 44-year-old Algerian-Canadian who headed a Montreal-based extremist cell, arrived in Montreal on Jan. 29 aboard an Air France flight, sources told the National Post.

[. . . . ] "Kamel was a key member of the international Islamist terrorist network of the mujahedeen, or holy warriors ... determined to strike the Western world order that they considered corrupt and immoral," according to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) document. [. . . . ]

Just read it. There is good reason to question what is going on in our justice system today -- instances where appeals to Charter rights defy common sense.

Kamel, Fateh. Born in Algeria, and a one-time member of the GIA, he was the leader of the Montreal Salafist Cell in the 1990s. He has been convicted in France for passing black-market passports to Islamic militants.

Appendix: A List of Canadian Terrorists

The following list includes a variety of terrorists and key supporters who have lived in Canada while on the run for terrorist actions in a homeland conflict, or who have acted on behalf of an overseas terrorist organization after establishing a Canadian residence. Naturally, the list is far from being definitive.

[. . . . ] Jabarah, Mohamed Mansour
[. . . . ] Kadr, Abdul Rahman.
[. . . . ] Kadr, Ahmad Said (also spelled as ‘Khadr’).
[. . . . ] Kadr, Omar. The teenaged son of Ahmad Said Kadr, this under-educated boy killed a US Army medic in Afghanistan in 2002 with a grenade while fighting as a member of al Qaeda.

Kamel, Fateh. Born in Algeria, and a one-time member of the GIA, he was the leader of the Montreal Salafist Cell in the 1990s. He has been convicted in France for passing black-market passports to Islamic militants.

For a true picture of Canada, and drawing from the world of "diversity", "multiculturalism", and the "immigration" / "refugee" process -- one result of that "kinder, gentler" Canada touted by Liberals and their Peime Ministers trolling for votes are these dangerous entrants brought to Canadians through our open borders in action; just skim through this list.




Canadians have been and are played for fools -- Who gave permission to enter? -- probably retired today and living well

INDEPTH: KHADR CBC News Online, March 3, 2004 -- Also, check here; you have to register for this one

There is information on each of these members of a terrorist family which our ex-PM Jean Chretien helped. I suppose it plays well in the community when you go to the polls. And that man gets to enjoy a rich retirement.

The Khadr family

* Ahmed Said Khadr
* Maha Khadr
* Zaynab Khadr
* Abdullah Khadr

Information from the Taliban released on Feb. 4, 2004, suggested he may have been the suicide bomber who killed a Canadian soldier in Kabul in January 2004.

* Abdurahman Khadr
* Omar Khadr
* Abdul Karim Khadr

There was no comparable outcry from the government while they were shuffling money to their corrupt sponsorship / Adscam / slush fund for certain people and areas of the country. When it looks as though their corruption might be revealed or Canadians might get a picture of what has been going on, all of a sudden the government becomes money conscious.

Cost of Maher Arar inquiry on the rise, federal documents show Jim Brown, Feb. 26, 05, CP

[. . . . ] Seamas Gordon, a department spokesman, said most of that money went to pay the fees for lawyers representing federal officials called to testify before O'Connor.

It's standard practice for the government to cover the legal costs incurred by any present or former bureaucrat in the course of official duties. [. . . . ]

Arar inquiry price tag: $23M Feb. 26, 05, Jim Brown, CP

[. . . . ] The figures made public yesterday show the justice department was by far the biggest spender.

It reported $6.05 million in costs for "activities associated with" the affair. [. . . . ]

Why, it sounds almost like a court challenges program. Keep them talking about Maher Arar's "rights" in the face of the testimony from members of CSIS, whom Canadians pay for their investigations and what they are able to learn. Besides, for CSIS to reveal all could compromise ongoing investigations, the methods and the investigators involved. Again, consider spending money on our safety before that of Mr. Arar in the dispensing of taxpayer $$$ -- or was the Charter simply a permanent employment program for lawyers? Let's see, now, PET and JC were lawyers -- and who knows how many others were from the legal profession who were involved in bringing us this long term high income system for lawyers.





Certificates best way to hold terrorist suspects -- CSIS: Anti-terrorism act review: Former spy boss says system keeps suspects from getting passports James Gordon, CanWest, Feb. 23, 05

I was irritated to see this article in the National Post not on the front page where it belonged, but next to the fold well inside the paper. I expect more concern for Canadians and for the word of members of our security services. If there is a Stephen Harper gaffe, even one committed by some staffer, it is front page news.

OTTAWA - Security certificates are essential to stop terrorists from gaining citizenship and valuable Canadian passports, Canada's former spy boss said yesterday.

Dale Neufeld, who handed over control of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to current director Jim Judd last month, said suspects are ''easier to deal with'' under the controversial certificate process.

''The problem is they come here and, if we're lucky, we uncover their pedigree and their terrorist connections,'' he said.

''The problem is they want to do nothing for three years, they want to acquire that magic Canadian citizenship and the passport that goes with it, before they re-immerse themselves in the terrorist milieu.'' [. . . . ]

Thanks for the 31 cent tax cut February 24, 2005, Greg Weston, Sun Ottawa

[. . . . ] In the budget that minority politics built, Paul Martin's government has something for everyone, not a lot for anyone, and a stunning 31 cents a week in personal tax cuts (this is not a misprint), soaring to 62 cents in 2007.

[. . . . ] But the government is rolling in so much of our dough that it literally cannot spend all those billions fast enough. [. . . . ]

RCMP closes forensics lab CBC, 25 Feb 2005

The RCMP lab in Alberta is closed to save $1.2 million a year but it will cost $3.3 million to shut it down to "save money" -- for what, in particular? Another ad campaign for the next election? Does our government not want the RCMP to be successful in crime fighting or is Canadians' security secondary to 'business'? There won't be any business if this government doesn't get serious about security in Canada. NJC

[. . . . ] Last year, documents obtained by the CBC showed the RCMP doesn't have enough people to do DNA analysis, and cuts were worsening the problem. [. . . . ]

City needs another Fantino Feb. 26, 05

Julian Fantino should still be Toronto's police chief.

Our dysfunctional police services board can insist all it wants that it simply refused to renew Fantino's five-year contract.

But as far as we're concerned, it fired Fantino for political reasons and its actions have been a disgrace. [. . . . ]
