The reality here is that both the U.S. Govt and our own Govt (Liberal and CPC) bungled this entire file.     

Khadr was held without charge for years.    He was subject to torture.    He was not even properly read his rights.     His "trial" was before a Military Tribunal that has been widely discredited.     He has never been found guilty of anything in a U.S. or Canadian court.     In fact, most of the evidence against Khadr (including his confession) would be thrown out in a proper trial.

So Khadr's guilt or innocence still hasn't been properly determined and likely never will (to the satisfaction of anybody).     That's not his fault - that's the fault of the two Govts who turned a blind eye to rights that are written into both country's Constitutions.     

I feel for Speer's widow - but this suit has very little chance of success.   Her only hope may be to bleed Khadr's wealth via lengthy legal costs - or lock it up while the court case drags on.
