No you're confusing the issue.   Guilt or innocence is irrelevant because where our Govt failed (both Liberal and Conservative) was not advocating on behalf of a citizen languishing in foreign custody.     Khadr was incarcerated for years without being charged with any crime.    His trial came years after our Govt did nothing.      Eg:  Had Canada advocated for charges and a trial to be brought asap, Khadr would have no case even if he were found innocent.     Instead they ignored his plight simply because it was a popular option to do nothing.    Popularity and legality are two different things.
