Why is it a war crime for a fifteen year old boy to shoot an American who he saw as the enemy.

Because he was an unlawful combatant when he committed the act(s) he was found guilty of. In other words, an under-age civilian like Khadr, a citizen from neither of the countries in dispute nonetheless, has no business engaging is war.

And you should try asking your question to the family of Christopher Speer.

It seems a lot of people on here just want to bury this kid!
Hang the fkr first, then burn the remains then bury the ashes!!

If this terrorist is pinching himself to be back in Canada, imagine how ecstatic he would be if he was sent back to Afgan.
Lets be nice to him and send him to his favorite place, Afgan to serve the balance of his eight year sentence!!!

The fact is he is a Canadian citizen by virtue of the fact he was born in Canada.
This I didn't know before, therefore where else would they deport him to?
I don't like it but then if he was born here he is our problem. The real problem
is with the family history he had, how the H did that family get to come here.
The problem is more a problem of our Immigration Department than anything
else.

Too late now to change history, we have to just move ahead now and try to get this guy rehabillitated!

Hahaha, nothing like spending tax money on a useless cause !!! Where does it end?

Well he is a test subject- Indoctrinated by his father from age 12 - building IEDS - Living with like minded adults.
Then years in Guantanamo - a resort in the Caribbean.
I am sure you would have turned out differently.

Looking forward to your reply.

Throw away the key for at least seven more years!!
Don't even waste taxpayer money on a parole hearing!!

Glad you asked. Given his restricted eyesight, Khadr is capable of being kept in Minimum security at a much lower cost than a max security facility.

Yep, if he should be kept in prison at all. He was 15 when the alleged incident happened, he's 27 now, people have been known to change a lot in 12 years.

How general population in a med security prison.

hehehe


Perhaps you can advise if you are promoting 'tormenting the Blind',or starting an Attica Style prison race riot, or merely spending 60,000.00 a year extra for keeping a minimum security prisoner in Max as an 'example to the rest of us?"

/sorry if I' appear to be a Cheapo on public expenditures, CM. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth...

Khadr won't cost a fraction of that $60k per year... Won't have to worry about any vision related issues after a week or so in Gen Pop.

.... Just think of the 72 virgins that await him in the hereafter

Watch a lot of movies?

Besides, according to you and one other idealist here, Omar is a changed man... A victim no less.

I suspect that the inmates will immediately recognize this reality and provide therapy and support for this poor, maligned victim.

Hmmm... Misquoting me has become a lifestyle option for you:lol: I advised having him serve his sentence at the 'real risk level' because it's less expensive.

I simply a 'realist' Murder a half blind man in prison? Tell us more, Mr Justice.
I'm all ears...
