He was found guilty. Period. End of story. Reasonable doubt has long since been irrelevant. You are one of the few people who seem to have any doubts.
But still, he does deserve compensation, although I question the amount! - Probably a $million clear.
Then he should sue the Taliban. And his family. They are the ones that got him into this mess in the first place.
No, he wasn't.
No, he wasn't.
Who ever puts a bullet in Omar Khadr and kills him will be a Canadian Hero...
Not to suggest anyone goes out and kills Omar..:canada:

The guy should be left alone, he's been through enough!
Tell that to the widow of the guy he killed and the other one he injured.
The guy should be harrssed for the rest of his sick disgusting life
Whether or not he committed any crime at this juncture is a moot point. There's a protocol for laying charges and proceding to trial which apparently wasn't adhered to. That's what this entire payout is all about. Nothing to do with his guilty or innocence.
No, that's not what the payout was about.
Do you think that minor children should be held responsible and made to suffer because of the sins of the parents causing the perpetuation of this behaviour for future generations?The Harper Government was introducing legislation to strip Canadians of their citizenship if they were convicted of terrorism. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau coined the phrase "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian" and killed the legislation that would prevent future Khadr type situations.
I accept that Omar Khadr was a victim of circumstance, but I will never accept that it is Canada's responsibility to rescue or pay for the sins of families who have no loyalty to Canada. The Khadr's clearly took up arms against Canada and introduced their kids into the world of terrorism. That's not up for debate, it's a matter of record.
Justin Trudeau would have been better off to fight this lawsuit to it's end. Even if they had lost, politically it would have been better.
I certainly hope that the 71% of Canadian's who were unhappy with this secret payoff remember this come election day.
Yup. It's why youth get bumped up to Queen's Bench and tried as an adult when the crime is heinous.Do you think that minor children should be held responsible and made to suffer because of the sins of the parents causing the perpetuation of this behaviour for future generations?
