Agree with the article and was surprisingly on side with Wente until she had to throw this in:
"Everybody knows that Justin Trudeau is not about to invite Mr. Khadr to Ottawa and apologize to him in person. He’s too cowardly for that."

Trudeau is just the PM of the day, but hardly the author of this unfortunate outcome. If Khadr had been repatriated and sent to a Canadian prison earlier-as even the Americans wanted- Khadr would likely have faded into obscurity -and we wouldn't still be talking about him.  If anyone needs to apologize, it is the stubborn former PM Harper who laid the groundwork for this odious payment.
