Khadr to get 10.5 million payment for treason.

[Twin_Moose]

If we weren't involved, why is Colpy ranting about treason?

Khadri was treasonous toward Canada fighting on the opposite side, even if we were completely neutral on all skirmishes he would have still have likely won his lawsuit against Canada. The lawsuit has nothing to do with the incident it has everything to do with Canada not rescuing him from the U.S. and allowing the mistreatment perpetrated onto him.

Taking up arms against ones own country is treason. Khadr was a Canadian when he decided to fight against and kill coalition soldiers. Oh sure, he mainly resided in Afghanistan, but he and his family still came back to Canada when they needed something, you know, like free health care, etc... He was still a Canadian who made a decision to fight against Canada and allies. He took a life and seriously altered another...lives of people who's primary intent was to save his.

This piece of scum is the worst kind and it serves no one's interest to honour him for such a despicable act, except for the interest of those who want to further terrorism. His remuneration should be a noose, not a cheque.

Hug a thug trudough is tough enough to swallow but rewarding a thug family with $10 mil is just too bizarre, dumb me joined our armed forces, never killed an ally and worked here all my life but pocketed far less than $10mil. Treason does pay and pay very well.

 

[Mowich]

This is brought forward now by a gutless government hoping that it will slide under Canadian's radar as they head for cottage country. To top that off, the PM is out of the country and the government is on holidays.

Thanks, DS.........I did.

Me too.

I would advise the widow of the soldier that Khadr killed to now sue him for wrongful death for the full amount that Khadr got!

Right, because there was no chance in hell that he would have been killed otherwise. Right? I mean who expects to be killed when going to a war zone as a soldier in the american armed forces...right?


What a fu cking putz.

No, he was a brainwashed child soldier.

A child soldier in whose army? As I understand it he was a ideological mercenary like his father, both traitors. Engaging in combat does not a soldier make, training for combat makes a soldier. In any event hand$omely rewarding this family that used canuckistan solely for their convenience and as a base to execute attacks on our allies is unfathomable. Trudough needs his head read but I really doubt there is anything in there to read.
A serious slap to americas' face n' the donald once he straightens out Russia, the EU and NK later on this week could pencil us in as his next country for straightening out.

So were we involved or not?

 

[taxslave]

Thankfully more decent people who actually understand the story and feel for the *child* had care over all this.

As it is, IMO regardless of his 'treason' or not, he was a CHILD in an adult torture center. He did not deserve what happened to him to begin with.

That would be his family's fault. Nothing to do with the Canadian government. The only blame the government can ligitmately receive is for not evicting this family of terrorist from Canada a long time ago.

It was smart of them to settle or they would have had to pay another $10 million for Harper's mistake.

It's pretty obvious now that conbots actually have no concept of justice or financial prudence.

Read your post in support of trudoughs' decision to reward a family that as taxslave points out should have been evicted long before they killed in our name, didn't notice a link.

Not only putin, merkel, kim and soon justin he also breathlessly body slammed cnn, what other political star could claim so much in so little time.

Trudeau Liberals to pay Omar Khadr $10.5M for suffering at Guantanamo | National Post



This is so completely outrageous.
This guy was a Canadian, fighting against our allies in a war we were involved in.......it was only chance that he was fighting Americans and not Canadians.
That is treason. Full stop.
He was not a child soldier, he was 15. That is not a child soldier, as 14 is the limit for being charged with a war crime for recruiting child soldiers. I know, the UN defines it as under 18, but that is ridiculous, just like the UN.
I agreed with bringing him back to Canada, with reservations, because the idea of charging him with murder for throwing a grenade in combat is not fair, and his court martial was both unconstitutional and, I believe, of the kangaroo variety.
And he was young.
But to apologize? Are they ****ing nuts? And 10.5 million dollars? Did Trudeau have no where to burn money this week?
This is so outrageous.
This guy should be thanking God that he was allowed back here, that we had the mercy and the sense of fair play to bring him home.
10.5 million bucks and an apology.
I guess that is the going rate for treason in Trudeau's post-modern country.
The nuts have taken over the asylum.

I mostly agree. Here's how I would analyze it:

Khadr is a Canadian citizen, ergo Canada has jurisdiction.

Khadr was not a member of any recognized military, and therefore wasn't a "soldier" of any type.

Khadr was a minor, and therefore subject to the rule of his parents and, if the parents proved unfit, the state.

Running around tossing grenades is pretty sound evidence that your parents are unfit. Ergo, the state has authority over Khadr.

Running around tossing grenades is also illegal, unless you're a soldier, which Khadr was not.

Ergo, Khadr should have been remanded to the juvenile authorities for placement in an appropriate foster home or facility (presumably facility, given his demonstrated propensity to violence and the fact he had committed at least one violent crime).

Insofar as his Charter rights may have been violated by Canadian law enforcement or judicial authorities, he is entitled to compensation for such violations. I think ten and a half mil is kinda high. Take a court to sort through it.

Insofar as Khadr was detained at Guantanamo, that's the U.S.'s problem. Canada is under no legal obligation to answer for whatever "failure" might have occurred in not getting him released and remand to Canada. You have no right to diplomatic effort from the government.

What should have happened: As soon as Canada became aware of Khadr's detention, it should have requested that he be turned over to Canadian authorities, declared him a juvenile miscreant with unfit parents, and gone from there with ensuring rehabilitative services and appropriately limiting his freedom of movement in loco parentis.

What's hard about that?

Were I running the game, he wouldn't get a ****ing penny.

Run it out in court, if necessary pass a law forbidding awards to terrorists, use the notwithstanding clause, arrest and try him for treason, create an account in the USA in Khadr's name and inform the medic's widow two days before you deposit Khadr's money there so she can have it frozen, or a combination of the above...........whatever.

Not a ****ing penny. To him or his lawyers.
