text: Considering you have the name of the CBC reporter wrong (it's JONATHAN Kay), one would automatically have to question everything else in your post. The elder Khadr was really a money man arranging funding for al-Qaeda (not the Taliban, for Tormaine's edification), described as "not a man of fighting." In fact, he had been badly injured in a 1992 bomb blast -- hard to be a "terrorist commander" when you can hardly walk. He deserves no credit for taking his family into a battle zone, nor for directing Omar into combat training and bomb construction, but Khadr expended considerable effort to keep Omar out of fighting. He was irate after Omar's capture that the boy had been placed directly in harm's way.
  
  To correct Richard Roskell, Ahmed Khadr was killed in a 2003 air raid, 14 months following Omar's capture.
  
  Never hurts to check multiple sources . . .
