France asked the U.S. for "assistance" with Omar Khadr even as Ottawa declined to intervene on the Canadian prisoner's behalf, according to documents published by WikiLeaks.

December 1, 2010 - The leaked U.S. State Department cable provides more details about French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner's first bilateral meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Feb. 5, 2009.
In it, Clinton called the U.S. detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba a "cancer" the U.S. wanted to "take care of."
It was known at the time of the meeting that Kouchner brought up Khadr's case. But the cable discloses the French minister, at the end of the discussion on Guantanamo Bay, handed Clinton a paper concerning Khadr. He is described as "a 15-year old Muslim of Canadian origin." Khadr, now 24, was 22 at the time of the meeting.
The cable does not say what assistance Kouchner was seeking, but notes Clinton agreed to review the case. {read rest}
We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
