Heads of publishing empires all over the world do it, they instruct their journalists on the finer points of being biased, and how to make it work for them, and look like fools and idiots at the same time.
Take the clowns who own the Toronto Star for example, the don’t particularly care how dumb Thomas Walkom sounds when it comes to Omar Khadr, just as long as he can draw sympathy from the millions of readers who waste their money on a rag such as theirs.
Get this, reporter Walkom, not to mention a few other staffers at The Toronto Star, want to see Omar Khadr tried by a jury of his peers in New York, instead of in front of military tribunal.
Like how f***ing stupid are they for thinking that a U.S. civilian court could go any lighter on a killer, somebody Walkom and other morons think is a child soldier? How can anybody seriously believe that trying Omar in civilian court in front of jury of his peers in New York is going to work out in his favor? I think he has a better chance before a military tribunal, but that’s just me.
And, what about that jury pool. Does Walkom truly believed somewhere in New York City one sympathetic and unbiased juror, never mind a dozen and a couple alternates, could be found?
I am talking a bomb-making jihadist charged with first-degree murder in the killing of a U.S. soldier, who was in Afghanistan because of a terrorist attack on a New York City icon, the World Trade Center. Any juror sitting in on Omar’s trial in New York, if it was to be held there, would be more than just a little biased when it comes to deciding whether Omar is guilty or not. But again. that’s just me.
How many people died in that terrorist attack again, more than three thousand wasn’t it, two-thirds of them American, right? Yeah Walkom, trying Omar in New York City is in his best interests. Like get f***ing real buddy.
Walkom is a wanker and retard for even suggesting that Omar stood a better chance in a civilian court in New York City or anywhere else for that matter, in fact anybody who thinks civil court will be any more fairer to Omar, is living in lalaland.
As for the journalists working over at the Toronto Star, aren’t they a bunch of puppets. I wonder how many of them are wishing they were working someplace else, a place where they weren’t be told how to tell their story.
Oh hey and by the way, what about those protestors waving signs and demanding that the Harper government bring a terrorist home to Canada, aren’t they a piece of work?

The main focus of all these TORSTAR articles is to ridicule the system in place that will try Khadr,not to debate the evidence before a jury or military panel.Walkom states that the American system is nothing but “a Kangaroo court” that has only one end in mind and that is to wrongfully convict “poor lil’ Omar” at any cost! How about giving the little terrorist puke his day in court…finally.The defense team,Dennis Edney and Khadr’s newly appointed American lawyer…(his name presently escapes me… the latest lawyer for our home-grown terrorist) want NOTHING to do with a trial ,be it in the military or civilian court system.They want the Canadian government to re-patriate the little puke and AVOID a trial and get ALL charges dropped against their client…..Obama has set the venue for this little puke’s trial and all the whining from these legal gasbags won’t change a F***ING thing…Khadr better get used to confinement.Federal prisons are NOT the ClubMed that he enjoyed in Guantanamo….Thomas Walkhom is just another TORSTAR HACK who delights in writing articles that defend this TORONTO born terrorist.a NATIVE SON you know….What would it matter to him if Khadr were to be set free…Khadr would be just another thug running around in T.O. BIG DEAL!!

Hey flipper, how about those 5 Somali-Canadians who counterterrorism investigators are saying might have signed up with al-Shabaab. They only way they should be allowed to re-enter Canada, if the assumptions turn out to be true (between you and I-I think we’re smart enough to know that they are), is in body bags.
As for Omar, I really don’t care where he is tried, but at the end of the day my gut is telling me that a military tribunal is going to be much softer on him than a civilian court. My gut could be wrong.
The repatriating thing; I hear the judge has said that the Supreme Court might not be able to force the feds to bring repatriate Omar.

What REALLY angers me is all of the attention that KHADR gets from the media.This son of a Al-Queda financier has spent , by someone’s figures, a grand total of 13 months in Canada in all his life (pre-gitmo),yet the media portray this little puke as a true Canadian citizen.WHY ALL THE HOOPLA? He is a terrorist,caught in a foreign country and charged with the murder of an American Medic….As an aside ,Iread a blog that stated that the serviceman that he fragged should NOT be referred to as a Medic because he was a fireman in civilian life-so that makes it less of a crime to murder him…Do you believe that!!! As for the supreme court ,they, and our activist Liberal judiciary should have NO SAY WHATSOEVER in the disposition of this little puke Khadr. The Americans have him and they can F***ING WELL KEEP HIM! His fifteen minutes of fame (undeserved at best) are over.There are more pressing matters to investigate…I long for the day that when asked,a Canadian citizen will say “OMAR KHADR? Never heard of him! “
