text: This is not really about Omar Khadr. The real question is, do we respect our own constitution, our own laws? It does not matter if Mr. Adler or Mrs. Wente consider Mr. Khadr a "real" or surreal Canadian - he was a legal citizen, and several successive Canadian governments have violated his legal rights. Had those governments not committed these mistakes - driven by notions quite similar to those of Mr. Adler, it would seem - then this whole problem could have been avoided.
