CBC: PM must press U.S. for Khadr's return, court rules
Harper says government is considering appeal

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is required to press the United States for the return of Omar Khadr to Canada to "comply with a principle of fundamental justice," a Federal Court judge ruled Thursday.

Unmoved, Harper said the government may try to overturn the judge's decision.

"The facts, in our judgment, have not changed," he told MPs during question period. "We will be looking at the decision very carefully and, obviously, considering an appeal."

Justice James O'Reilly ruled in favour of Khadr's charter challenge of the Canadian government's decision not to request his repatriation from the U.S. detention centre in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

1. Message to "Stevie"
heh-heh! Remember that, Harper? None other than GEORGE W BUSH (sigh/drool) gave you a nickname! Must have given you a hard on.

It's over, stupid. Adapt and adapt quickly.
Or you will get boot-fucked the way your buddies did.
Time to do the decent thing, Stevie. The right thing. The human thing. Give up your Reform Party agenda and be a man. A real man.

The nation will love you.
