Toronto Star: Khadr reports 'speculative,' Tories insist
OTTAWA–Federal Conservatives continue to reject opposition calls to bring Omar Khadr home amid newly released reports by Canadian government officials that describe the Guantanamo detainee as "salvageable" if he isn't left to languish in prison.

...

Art Hanger, the Conservative chair of the justice committee, said as long as Khadr remains "under some sort of charge and trial down there, that's the way it's going to be as far as I can see."

Hanger dismissed the officials' summary of favourable comments by Khadr's U.S. military guards.

"What kind of comments are those? Nothing official has come forward. So some prison guards might have said that? He's locked up. We don't know what the real story is until we get some official reports, I would think."

...

(They won't even allow that Khadr might be a decent person with positive potential? Way to stand up for a fellow Canadian, those sons of bitches.)
