Lets all get over this. The United States of Americans needed a scapegoat. Canadian Prime Ministers past ignored the issue - Ah the scapegoat was found. Only one President did the right thing: And Khadr was returned to Canada. Like most others who were imprisoned; their countries got them back much sooner. So, we cannot be holier than thou. We are a country of laws. Goes without saying - respect is required. The United States of Americans made up a law. Why? Only they know the answer. As for the widow I trust our legal system and hopefully she will get nothing from Khadr or Canada. A child is a child is a child. In closing, as for the pundits, editorialists, and political party leaders: I hope this never happens to one of your children.
