RISIBLE is the word for the reactions against Khadr.   First and most risible are the widows trying to get the money. Your husbands were killed in a war... well, what do you think war is, a vacatoin  for exploring other cultures?  Khadr  - whether he threw the grenade or not - was  being attacked by these men; why doesn't he have a right to fight back? That is what war is.  INCREDIBLE!  
Then add to it the  fact that Canada and the US  broke their treaty signatures about not prosecuting child soldiers - and then  tortured  a 15 year old - and he deserves every penny; A kangaroo court, railroaded and blackmailed into  a guilty plea... anyone who isn't a total idiot  can see why he deserves the money.
