Guantanamo Bay/Song for Omar

Omar Khadr was 15 when he began his captivity at Guantanamo Bay. He is 22 now. He remains the only citizen of a western country still at Gitmo. Filmed on Location by flu.

A mix of Guantanamera, La Bamba and Help from my Friends, musically; Barry McGuire's Eve of Destruction in rendering style.

I don't think you people have any clue what that asshole is like. And if you worked around him for as long as I did you would have never even thought that making this song was morally right. He murdered someone, and has no remorse. Show some fucking patriotism, those guys are all down there for a reason.

Thanks for checking the video out. I am not American ... yet. I am Canadian. Omar was 15 when these incidents happened. Both the US and Canada signed on to agreement on child soldiers long ago. I don't think the US will ever get a conviction on Omar. They should just let him go.

Mr. Clean: you need more lessons

I think if Omar heard this song he would gladly submit to waterboarding & he would defintly confess to anything.

That's the risk of releasing any music these days. The tune could end up on some psy ops sleep deprivation playlist. Let Omar out and we'll see if he likes it or not. Photos released recently point to his innocense in the death of the US medic.

Thank you. I will think about either more verses or another new song as his detention lingers.

@fatmuscle he was acaully convicted, maybe not for all but for some of it. I last heard he was head back to Canada to spend the rest of his life in jail there.

Thank you. I am actively involved in the Omar Khadr issue. I'm also a musician. Very creative use of Guantanamera. Thank you for caring about our friend Omar Khadr. Keep advocating!
