Mr. Speaker, the government knew full well that Khalid was a torturer. Chris Alexander had told it that he was a killer of UN workers. This morning, Colvin testified that Khalid was an extortionist, drug smuggler and a torturer.
Knowing all of this, the government continued to support him and continued to pay him $12,000 per month.
Why did the current government not sever all ties with this butcher of Kandahar?
