My Comment: The Toronto Star is one of Canada's more Liberal papers.
It does not disappoint.
Salim Hamdan mentions nothing about the victims of 9/11 or any other victim of Al Qaeda terrorism .... there is no remorse or sorrow. All that he cares about is himself and his fellow jihadists who are still in Guantanamo.
The Star tries to portray him as a person who was indoctrinated into Al Qaeda when he was 26 .... that he was swept away with jihad and the "brotherhood".
Sighhhh .... trying to portray a terrorist facilitator as a "victim" never works .... a point that I had to remind myself while reading this article.
