Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office has weighed in on the release of videotapes showing Toronto-born Omar Khadr being interrogated by Canadian agents at Guantanamo Bay in February 2003, saying the federal government will not change its position on the case.
"Mr. Khadr faces serious charges. There is a judicial process underway to determine Mr. Khadr's fate. This should continue," Kory Teneycke, the prime minister's director of communications, told CBC News Tuesday morning, hours after Khadr's lawyers released excerpts of the tapes.
The excerpts show Khadr, then 16, weeping as he is interviewed by agents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. He also lifts his shirt to show them the wounds he says he incurred during a battle with American troops in Afghanistan six months before — during which the U.S. military contends the Canadian teenager threw a grenade that killed an American soldier.
"Any comments on the actual contents of the interrogation video must be directed to CSIS," Teneycke said. "The [Prime Minister's Office] will not be making any comments on content."
In other words ... we’re not interested in helping the swarthy little bugger because it might make our bestest friend forevah teh Boy Emperor mad at us. And then who would we sit with in the cafeteria during lunch? Huh? Huh?

I particularly admire the grim, thudding, repetitive reassurance that "a judicial process is underway", and therefore we should not be concerned.
Trial by fire is a "judicial process". The village council that sentences a rape victim to death for the shame she brings on her family is a "judicial process". Stalin's show trials were "judicial processes".
And these are the people who see the likes of Ezra Levant and Conrad Black as martyrs.
"The [Prime Minister's Office] will not be making any comments on content."
Fuck you Harper, you trumped up little dictator.
Looks to me like CSIS has a "sources & methods" issue here. Don't nobody wanna kick over that rock.
Maybe someone should cut off Harper's balls with a straight razor and force him to eat them - and tell him it's not torture but "gastronomic cuisine"
Hitler, Stalin, Mao all had "judicial process"....
