Express an opinion about the Khadr case and the Canadian government's decision to pay him a settlement.
Khadr is first and foremost a convicted terrorist. He committed treason and fought for the Taliban. The same Taliban that rapes and mutilates women and children. Let that sink in - Khadr was a Taliban insurgent who was also filmed building IED's. Khadr was captured fighting with Taliban insurgents as a non-uniformed combatant - according to the Geneva Convention, he was not a child soldier (14 and under) - Khadr was closer to 16. Khadr getting out for time served is one thing but he should not see a dime - if anything - Khadr should issue a formal apology to Canada and leave the country - he committed treason and is owed nothing. This entire settlement process makes Canada look like a pathetic joke among our allies - paying off a convicted terrorist for lost sleep? The Government and Supreme Court are basically spitting in the face of Canadians soldiers.
