Hmmm... 

I get the authors point and it is probably correct under the law to make redress to Mr Khadr. And from the optics presented in the newspapers (yes I get the irony) it appears he is making good use of his new found freedom.

Still, I cannot resist making the point that this settlement is undoubtedly driven to some degree by the fame this case has garnered. Rank and file Canadian service men and women, some of whom have suffered and continue to suffer as a result of their service to Canada, seem to struggle endlessly to get the care and support they need and deserve after returning from service overseas.

Canada seems to always falter when it comes to taking care of the men and women who serve it. And by serve I mean in the military. Politicians and public servants are always well taken care of. But for those who served in the military and risked the most...

Uh.... not so much.
