Nevermind the premise of the article being that elites sympathize with Khadr while the people don't.

That's as biased as an article that I've read on the subject. Down plays the charter when it comes to criminals and also down plays the torture as "mistreated".

LOL
I thought I was reading an Onion article! Sure, there are some decent points made, particularly on CSIS involvement being minor...
but a lot read like it was from Kelly Anne Conway/Steve Bannon playbook: just push the populist hot buttons!
Villiannize the mainstream media? Check
Callout 'the ruling class'? Check
Compare 'main street' to the 'elite'? Check
Challenge one's patriotism or citizenship? ("Sure he checks all the boxes...but was his family ever Canadian
in spirit") Check
Challenge established institutions (“The elites think these folks don’t understand the rule of law,” Mr. Adler tells me. “Well, they do understand the law. They just don’t like what the law tells them to do.” )? Check
I mean believe what ever you want about the merits of the case, but the last thing that article was is
unbiased...
