| TORONTO — The last Western detainee held at the Guantanamo Bay US military prison has returned to Canada after a decade in custody and has been transferred to a maximum security prison in Canada where he awaits parole, Canada's public safety minister said Saturday. Vic Toews said that 26-year-old Omar Khadr arrived at a Canadian military base on a US government plane early Saturday and was transferred to the Millhaven maximum security prison in Bath, Ontario. Khadr pleaded guilty in 2010 to killing a US soldier in Afghanistan and was eligible to return to Canada from Guantanamo Bay

He killed an American soldier and he's going to be paroled.

Do we have any drones flying over Canada?
At this rate, we might need some.

Canadian Leftards have been going all out to sell this killer as a sainted child soldier who must be paid millions in Danegeld by the Canadian government for not "saving" him from the evil Americans years ago.

At least three people were killed and 17 wounded in shootings across Chicago overnight as the city saw its warmest weather in seven months. In one of the fatal shootings, three men were shot in a parking lot across the street from the headquarters of the UIC Police Department, police said. The shooting happened around 10:40 p.m. in the 1000 block of West Maxwell Street, Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. All three men were taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County. The conditions of two of them, 19 and 21, were stabilized at the hospital, Greer said.

DETROIT — Jamie Brokaw was an experienced navigator who was no stranger to dangerous flying situations and had the skills to stay cool in the face of danger, according to close friend Chris Connerton. "He was a very good person and very smart person," Connerton told The Associated Press by telephone from Rochester, Minn. Brokaw, 33, of Monroe, Mich., was among seven Americans killed Monday when their National Air Cargo plane crashed near an Air Force base in Afghanistan. Six of the victims were from Michigan and a seventh was from Kentucky, said Shirley Kaufman, National Air Cargo vice president.

You are about to hear, for the first time, from a man who got caught up in the terror in Boston two weeks ago and helped bring it to an end. An immigrant from China, he was carjacked by the suspects, but escaped and tipped off the police. This 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur, who calls himself "Danny," had just pulled over in his new Mercedes on a Boston street to send a text message when a man jumped in. (At left, watch "Danny" describe how the incident began) In his first television interview, he tells his story.

ISTANBUL, Turkey- Turkish officials have been angered by what they consider Islamophobic remarks by the governor of Tokyo over Istanbul´s ability to host the 2020 Olympic Games. Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid are on a short list of cities vying to host the Games that year, Today´s Zaman reported Tuesday. Gov. Naoki Inose stirred criticism when he recently said the only thing Islamic countries have in common "is Allah and they are fighting with each other, and they have classes." His comments were criticized as "very disturbing, Islamophobic and racist" by prominent Turkish writer and jurist Orhan Kemal Cengiz.

The Philadelphia jury considering the murder case against abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell begins its first full day of deliberations Wednesday after lengthy legal instructions from the judge and several hours of review. The Common Pleas Court jury of seven women and five men deliberated about three hours Tuesday after Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart gave two hours of instructions in the law involving murder, abortion, theft, and racketeering. "You´ve heard the case," Minehart told the jurors. "You are the finders of fact. You have to decide what happened here at 3800 Lancaster Ave." But to do that, the jurors

Two House Republicans say eyewitnesses with potentially damaging information on the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi consulate attack will testify at a hearing next week. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told Fox News on Wednesday that people with “personal firsthand knowledge” would testify about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 assault, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Chaffetz was asked directly if those witnesses included any “whistle-blowers.” “I think they will be appearing,” he responded. “Some of them. “I think you will see — again I can’t release any names to you yet,

The people of Los Angeles would be up in arms if some out-of-town billionaires tried to buy the Dodgers and institute a rule that only right-handers could play on the team. Petitions would be signed, protests would be organized and politicians would rise up to condemn the sale. It would be nice if there were a similar outcry at the prospect of the Koch brothers buying the Los Angeles Times. After all, as exciting as it may be for a city to have a major league sports team, a good newspaper is a far more valuable asset.

MEXICO CITY — On the eve of President Obama´s trip to Mexico, Mexican authorities on Tuesday announced the capture of a key drug cartel operative, the father-in-law and associate of one of the world´s most-wanted fugitive kingpins. The major arrest — the first under new President Enrique Peña Nieto — comes as the extraordinarily close U.S.-Mexican cooperation in the drug war is undergoing significant changes. The Los Angeles Times reported this week that officials of the 5-month-old Mexican administration were alarmed to discover how deeply involved U.S. advisors were in sensitive areas of security and law enforcement during

More than seven months after the attack Sept. 11, 2012, on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the Obama administration continues to defend itself against allegations from House Republicans that the administration has not fully cooperated with Congress on the investigation into the attack. On Tuesday, both President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry addressed claims being made by House Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committee leaders that the administration is impeding the Congressional testimony of State Department and CIA employees who survived the attack. “I’m not familiar with this notion that anybody’s been blocked from testifying,”

The shocking news that the suspected marathon bombers were on the Bay State dole — even as the late Tamerlan Tsarnaev took a six-month jaunt to hang out with jihadis in Dagestan — has thrown a glaring national spotlight on the troubled Massachusetts welfare system. “The proper question is: How can somebody afford an expensive, international flight when they’re on public assistance?” said U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. “Maybe they had some relative pay for them, but if that’s the case, maybe some relative should be paying for their meal card.”

While it is not possible to answer all the e-mails and letters from readers, many are thought-provoking, whether those thoughts are positive or negative. An e-mail from one young man simply asked for the sources of some facts about gun control that were mentioned in a recent column. It is good to check out the facts -- especially if you check out the facts on both sides of an issue. By contrast, another man simply denounced me because of what was said in that column. He did not ask for my sources but simply made contrary assertions,

On Monday, the left-leaning Public Policy Polling group (PPP) released what they no doubt hoped would be a bombshell poll on gun control. According to PPP, and based solely on their vote against the Toomey/Manchin bill to strengthen background checks on gun purchases, three U.S. Senators -- Jeff Flake (AZ-R), Lisa Murkowski (AK-I), Mark Begich (AK-D) -- can expect a pretty serious voter "backlash." As anyone might have predicted (including PPP), this poll was perfect bait for MSNBC´s Joe Scarborough, who has been shamelessly demagoguing the gun issue since Sandy Hook

The State Department on Monday defended its decision not to have lower-level employees testify before Congress about last year´s attack in Benghazi, Libya. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is pushing ahead with his investigation of the terrorist assault, and has asked for legal protections for lower-level employees who might be called to testify. The State Department pushed back on Monday and said the independent probe into the attack "should be enough" for lawmakers. “We think that we´ve done an independent investigation, that it´s been transparent, thorough, credible, and detailed, and that we´ve shared those

The Obama administration has insisted from the start that there was no help available for the Americans under assault in Benghazi on September 11. The first in three exclusive reports alleging that that claim is false aired on tonight’s Special Report. Because the special operator in the video above is fearful of reprisal, his identity was concealed. The man, who watched the events unfold and has debriefed those who were part of the response, told Fox News’ Adam Housley that the C110 special forces group “was doing a training exercise not in the region of Northern

Of course, if the group of high-powered liberal billionaires and Democratic party fundraisers are successful in buying the Times, that’s just peachy with them. They are all totally oblivious to the riotous irony of opposing the purchase of a media outlet because they fear ideological contamination, while embracing a rival group’s effort to buy the paper who will ideologically contaminate the coverage anyway — except it happens to be an ideology with which they agree. That’s how to save “honest” news coverage in LA. HuffPo: As Tribune Co. emerges from a four-year bankruptcy, the predominantly Democratic

As a conservative, picking out things you don´t like about Barack Obama is kind of like pointing to the wettest part of the ocean. It also goes beyond politics. Not only is Barack Obama wrong politically, he´s not a good guy, "cool," or even moderately likable. To the contrary, he´s one of the nastiest, least admirable people in politics and he gets by based on a phony persona he created when he ran for President in 2008 -- along with the help of press corps liberals that work to protect him like

The King of Glib sure isn’t ready for the serious business of actually getting things done. President Obama shined at Saturday night’s press dinner in front of the gold curtain, floating on a sea of sequined gowns and penguin suits, tossing out witty and daring one-liners. But standing there at Tuesday’s press conference talking about terrorism, chemical weapons and all the problems of governing, Mr. Obama looked and sounded like a bad performance of a sad parody of former President George W. Bush that you might see on “Saturday Night Live.” “This stuff is hard,”

It is a shopworn technique of hard-line conservatives to declare themselves men and women of principle in contrast to those other Republicans — the ones, you know, who pass legislation and try to represent their constituents. It is both self-serving (presuming principles are of no matter to opponents) and lazy in that it is always easy to say no, ridicule compromise and remain pristine rather than trying to improve legislation or introduce an alternative. I’m sorry to say Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is too often falling into the reflexive habit of voting no

Defense lawyer Jack McMahon delivered his closing argument on behalf of abortionist Kermit Gosnell on Monday, accusing prosecutors of “manipulating” the case to engage in an essentially “racist” prosecution of the man charged with four counts of first-degree murder, killing babies born alive during abortions by snipping their spinal cords with surgical scissors. “Never have I seen the presumption of innocence so trampled on, stomped on,” said McMahon in court today, adding that the Philadelphia district attorney’s office “tried to manipulate everybody” and was pursuing an “elitist, racist prosecution.” “Dr. Gosnell is not the only one doing

The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned. “The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,” said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today. The state has handed over more than 500 documents to the 11-member House Post Audit and Oversight Committee, which today met for the first time and plans to call in officials from the Department of Transitional

Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival. The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women. "[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health,"

“You can live in your little dream world.” That’s Glenn Beck‘s advice for anyone who didn’t see the similarities between the lockdown in Boston earlier this month and Nazi Germany. On his radio show today, Beck reflected on time he spent at Auschwitz and how the police going door to door to search for the Boston Marathon bombing suspect reminded him of how the Nazis searched for Jews during the Holocaust. The “frightening looking” photo that inspired Beck’s rant was originally posted on (where else?) Alex
