Comment on the controversial case of Omar Khadr and discuss the argument that he should have been released as a child soldier. Also, criticize those who oppose his settlement with the Canadian government.
I suppose I could sit here and chortle reading the comments from the CONS who are going absolutely apocalyptic over this. But as usual these dinosaurs just don't get it. The Supreme Court had ruled in his favour. He was child soldier when he was captured and under international law that alone should have led to his release. The Taliban had absolutely and I mean absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. The Taliban were merely defending themselves against the illegal invasion of the US. People get killed in war. Khadr was found face down with bullets in his back barely alive. It was a firefight and any of the dead Taliban could have hit the US Doctor. He was tortured. He spent years in prison without charges. The Canadian government did nothing to help him. He was suing the government for a lot more than $10 million and would have won. But I know CONS don't care about any of this. Stupid is that stupid does.
