TORONTO -- A Canadian indicted in the U.S. on charges he supplied al-Qaida with weapons was freed Wednesday after more than four years in jail after a judge refused to extradite him to the United States.

Abdullah Khadr, 29, has been held in Canada on a U.S. warrant since his December 2005 arrest. He is wanted in the U.S. for allegedly purchasing weapons for al-Qaida and plotting to kill Americans abroad.

The U.S. case against Khadr relied on a statement he made to the FBI and Canadian police in Pakistan, and information he gave when he arrived in Toronto in December 2005. Khadr's lawyers argued the statements made in Pakistan were the result of torture.

Superior Court Justice Christopher Speyer ruled that the self-incriminating statement was "manifestly unreliable."

Khadr said outside court Wednesday that he couldn't believe he was released.

2. I feel very good about this.

The judge made the right decision.

Now Canadians have to decide to vote Harper out.
He is too much like Bush.
