Re: Outrage of the Day Canada paid for the mother and brother of an Al Qaeda terrorist leader to be flown from Pakistan to Toronto. Business class Wrong, according to Canada's Foreign Affairs Department. theglobeandmail.com Government officials said yesterday that they have given the two members of the Khadr family emergency one-time-only passports. Ottawa says it has helped arrange for the flight home and worked out the necessary exit visas with the Pakistanis. As citizens, the officials point out, the mother and son have a right to return to Canada. But they stress that taxpayers are not on the hook for the bill. "The family have used their own funds to travel back to Canada," said Reynald Doiron, spokesman for Canada's Foreign Affairs Department.
