The public has not got the full story, nor does it have any idea of who Omar Khadr is.  Sensation-seeking media prefer to stoke the fire than calm the unrest with a fuller picture.  

Khadr was born in Canada.  He is, THEREFORE, a Canadian citizen, entitled to rights and protections guaranteed by Canadian law.  That is the reality that sustains every aspect of his case.  Those rights were IGNORED by Libs and Cons.  The Supreme Court agreed.  

He left Canada as an infant and was raised by a tyrant of a father with misguided Taliban sympathies. He was likely educated in  the Saudi varient of Islam, Wahabism.  He was incapable of reasoning as a "western-raised" 13-15-year old, nor did he have any choice in his training in the camp.  Wounded several times, he was entitled to defend himself.  

Canada pays because it was complicit in his abuse by the US for over a decade.  He could have got more had he sued.  The US case has no merit in a "real" court.  US families should sue their lawyers
