Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Thursday he raised the case of Canadian Omar Khadr in his meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama at Ottawa International Airport.

Ignatieff told CBC News that Obama was "glad to know" Canadian parties were concerned about Khadr, the only Westerner remaining in detention at the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Obama said his administration is reviewing all the cases of the individuals who are still being held at Guantanamo.

'Adrift strategically' in Afghanistan: Ignatieff

Ignatieff said he told the president he felt Canada is "adrift strategically" in Afghanistan. The president "laughed and said 'we feel the same way in the White House.'"

So. Iggy just screwed up Harper's tough on terrorist talk.

And he may find Obama not so talkative in their next meeting.
