Too bad Khadr didn't kill an American medic in Canada, those Canadian laws would be applicable.

Omar Khadr is NOT a ‘Child Soldier’ – as per UN laws

August 25, 2009

Just about everyone has heard of Omar Khadr: the one Canadian languishing in Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
Most people – whatever their views and opinions are on the circumstances that lead to his current predicament – agree that his situation is quite tragic. The kid never had a chance to grow up ‘normally’.



I'm not sure about the rest of Canada but in B.C. you are a child until you turn 19.

Really, strange, other countries, like Great Britain, managed to get their ADULT citizens released from gitmo into their custody. So, are you saying it's only Canada that would have had a problem?

How much did britian and others pay their repatriated terrorists? Taking of life unsactioned by government as in war is murder, khadr was not a terrorist combatant funded by canada but he sure is now.

If the lawsuit were successful I'd say the charter of rites and freedoms is a seriously flawed document.

Treason...beyond a shadow of doubt....c'mon the khadr clan are avowed taliban supporters, they do desrve credit though... taliban to millionaire.... only in canuckstan.

For driving you need permission of parent or guardian.
Omar had his parents full permission and blessing to blow up, kill, or maim as many allied forces as he could. Parental consent was not an issue.

The question is, did he. Perhaps if the government didn't shyte the bed, he would have had his day in court. I get that some here find the idea of presumption of innocence abhorrent but I guess that's the reason the government is writing a 10 million dollar check. Some folks are just too stupid to learn

Is travelling to a war zone for r&r consistent with other travellers? The intention behind the khadr voyage is patently obvious to all cept trudough. If the terrorist clan acted truly canadian and enlisted to fight on our side or lacking that stayed home instead of taking up arms with the taliban need for proof of anything would be reduntant. Unsanctioned they went, saw and killed and goodale sez it's all good.

Khadrs intentions when he went were to do what his parents wanted. When I was 11 and my parents told me I was going to church, I went...and not because I was remotely interested in jaysus.

Aside from a coerced confession. What definitive proof do you have, because the testimony of the u.s. servicemen that were there is not consistent.

You don't know as an absolute truth that his confession wasn't legitimate, further, he's been back in Canada for years and not a peep from him claiming innocence.

All the speculation in the world won't change that

Actually, his lawyers have stated repeatedly that the only reason for the confession was to get out of gitmo. That was the deal. Plead guilty and we will send you home. Now, if that isn't a text book definition of coercion............

Some people have made up their minds that Omar is guilty of everything he's accused of, regardless of the fact they most weren't there when the alleged events took place. I don't f**king know what and if he's guilty of or not guilty of, but I do know in Canada you are innocent until proven guilty. For MOST crimes there comes a time when you are given a chance to resume a normal life!

Some people find it impossible to understand that!
