This seems odd.

This Canadian citizen, 21-year old Abdurahman Khadr, had been taken by his family to live in Bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan in the 90's. Captured by Americans, he was taken to Guantanamo, and freed -- he claims -- to act as a US spy in Bosnia. If true, then camp X-ray could have been used as a means to press Afghan fighters into service on the US side.

Khadr is in the press today in this Globe and Mail article because the government has invoked a rarely used power tied to the Monarchy to deny Khadr and his family a Canadian passport.
