Toronto — From Thursday's Globe and Mail

Sensible commentators generally agree it's time to urge the United States to release Omar Khadr to Canadian custody. That point, however, does not imply that an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada is wrong (There Is A Better Route To Justice - editorial, Aug. 26).

Mr. Khadr can return to Canada and an appeal proceed. The Federal Court of Appeal's decision raised a serious question as to the authority of the courts to supervise the conduct of foreign affairs by the federal government. Such a key issue ought to be considered by the Supreme Court, so the law will be clear.
