I don't purport to have any privileged insight into what animates the Government of Canada. I can say that there's a certain investment in the current policy. There's been inertia for a number of years now, and that inertia tends to continue just by nature of consistency.
I will say that I agree with you that there are extremely important implications at play in relation to Omar Khadr. The government's line has been that the charges against Omar Khadr are serious and therefore they need to play out in the United States, even in a system that most international observers would agree is inconsistent with international law.
The concern I have that goes beyond Omar Khadr is if the line is that the charges are serious and therefore we're not intervening with energy, and if we are to gauge the energy of our response according to the seriousness of the charges brought against an individual, that's an invitation for foreign governments, if they want to maltreat a Canadian, to concoct the most serious charges imaginable and therefore deter a Canadian intervention. I think that's the wrong message to send, in part because we all know there are a number of Canadians now who have found themselves in serious difficulty with foreign authorities, and I think we need to set a strong precedent that the Canadian government will intervene with vigour to defend the interests of those Canadians overseas.
