Globe and Mail:

If Canada doesn't act to protect human rights in the case of Omar Khadr, the country is no better than terrorists, Liberal Senator Romeo Dallaire told a parliamentary subcommittee Tuesday.

The former general, one of the most high-profile personalities to speak out in favour of bringing the detained Canadian home from Guantanamo Bay, told MPs that Mr. Khadr is a victim, a child soldier who should be rehabilitated and re-integrated into society and not tried before what he calls an illegal court.

Mr. Dallaire, whose troubling experiences during the 1994 Rwanda genocide helped make him an outspoken advocate of human rights, said the Khadr case points out a moral equivalence among Canada, the United States and al-Qaeda.

Well, no, it doesn't -- unless you happen to be a moron. Then again, you are a Liberal senator, so I guess that it's probably part of the job description.

Say, Romeo, since you were in charge of the UN's spectacularly-successful Rwandan operations, does that make you, oh, I dunno . . . Idi Amin or something?

I keed. I keed. After all, the old butcher only has half as much blood on his hands as you.
