"As any substantial award would have done, the Khadr settlement establishes an incentive for others to take serious risks (i.e. joining terrorist organizations abroad)..."

Oh sweet baby Jesus. You're saying that the Khadr settlement will incentivize other eight year-olds to have their fathers take them to a third world country embroiled in armed conflict. Where they will then be surrounded by Delta Force soldiers, bombed and strafed by A-10 warhogs, lose an eye, get shot twice in the back, and then be taken to a series of hell-hole prisons to be tortured and then interrogated by Canadians officials. Ten years of prison later you get a sorry excuse for a trial, and come back to Canada to endure another five years in maximum and medium security prisons.

Yeah, I bet they're just going to be lining up for that big payday.
