"Guantanamo's Child: The Untold Story of Omar Khadr-1/2

"Guantanamo's Child: The Untold Story of Omar Khadr"A US military judge dismissed the argument Friday that Guantanamo's youngest detainee, Omar Khadr, was a child soldier when captured in Afghanistan and therefore in need of protection and not prosecution. US Army Colonel Peter Brownback's ruling clears the way for Khadr's trial, which will be the first war crimes trial in history of anyone under the age of eighteen. [includes rush transcript]

If he grew up shuttled the world then he is not a Canadian citizen only on paper he is. he is a member of a terrorist faction, tell me are you giving your books away for free or are you making money from this terrorist pig I'm sick and tired of Canadians having sympathy for this thug and wasting tax payers money just to be seen on tv or getting a pat on the back for a weeks fame to better there own lives lets not forget about the soldier he killed. and I will not debate this on youtube.

@imyy4upeople1 Radicalization was caused by western colonialism. Bin Laden and his friends took a revenge versus the US bombing of Sudan, Afghanistan Iraq during Clinton adm. The solution is internal security, not wars. Stop military presence in Muslim countries and you will not have attacks. The cartoons related killing was the crime of an isolated individuals as he killed the responsible. The 150 were killed because of the war against muslim countries.

@imyy4upeople1 You will have the right to fight the invaders when they will invade Canada in the same way US invaded Afghanistan. Until the Muslims enter into Canada paying the ticket and passing the custom desk, they are legally in your country with Canada permission. 9/11 highjackers entered US legally.,

They committed crime, but did not invade US,.

@Digitalis17894 He was defending Afghanistan after the US attack. Do not talk about 9/11 as it was predated by Clinton bombing in Afghanistan. Additionally khadr's father forced him to fight.

[Digitalis17894]

@salerno111 Yeah, he was 15.

But he also knew what he was doing. I don't have any sympathy for him.

@1961Petrus Obvious troll is obvious 

[zhengjdc]

Why this kid was charged with *war crime* while he was thinking about defending his own country? and *murder*?!?! give me a break bitches! If killing someone during the war counts as *crime* then we should hang every single US soldiers who's killed Iraq militias.

@1961Petrus First off, towel head, really? And "homeys" getting at him? I am disgusted that you call Canada home and say things like this.

[salerno111]

Khadr is a victim. He was 15 and was attacked by special forces and aircraft missiles.

Just animals could think he is guilty.

@gothgod so by your twisted logic anyone who blows themselves up killing many innocent women and children in a crowded place is just a victim too? bizarre religious cult? not particularly bizarre, just islamic fundamentalism
