Widow, injured soldier's court filing seeks money federal government is expected to give Khadr

Whether he's a terrorist, a murderer or simply a piece of shit nobody likes is irrelevant:
Why will Omar Khadr receive $10.5M? Because his rights were violated: Aaron Wherry

You haven't spent much time outside of Canada. Canadian rights are only applicable in Canada.

[housewife]

Yeah that's what I don't get. He wasn't in Canada so how are the Canadian rules relevant.

[ShepherdsDog]

They aren't.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2010 that the actions of federal officials who participated in U.S. interrogations of Mr. Khadr had offended "the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects."

The court said the action of the Canadian government had violated the former child soldier's rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and deprived him of fundamental principles of justice.

If the cops haul your ass over the border to Point Roberts and beat the shit out of you, your Charter of Rights doesn't apply because you weren't beaten in Canada?
What's not to understand?

This was not a war crime to start with. A soldier of an invading army was killed in a war. That is what happens in wars.

By the tone of that post you have never fought in a war.

Why not sue all the Taliban while you are at it or anybody who has ever had the temerity to resist Americans in any way.

Your post is telling. It sums up the basic differences between the right and the left in the west. In your eyes, the Taliban is somehow "standing up to America". Thats funny. The vast majority of the people living on the planet (Muslims included) see the Taliban as a bunch of thugs that rape and murder women for having the audacity to go to school, or have a voice in her community. These assholes destroyed 4th and 5th century monuments in Afghanistan simply because they were not "Muslim". These assholes allowed terrorist thugs to live in their country. Thats called "keeping bad company". When you let murderous thugs live in your home, you suffer the same fate as them. Trying to portray the Taliban as some sort of "freedom fighter" standing up to American imperialism is total horse shit. Thousands of civilians who happened to be innocent workers and tourists lost thier lives on 9/11. They did nothing to deserve that fate. The Taliban gave safe passage to the thugs that made 9/11 possible. They deserve everything they got. Trying to portray the Taliban as some sort of "freedom fighters against American imperialism" is just pathetic. I personally would give the apologists for the Taliban the same treatment as the Taliban, only worse.

What an absolutely pathetic example.

No Herbie, they would because the cops took you while you were in Canada.

Lil Omar wasn't captured in Canada.

So you are saying he was within his rights to do as he did. Then I guess there is no need to apologize and reward him money, because you know it was a war right. Nor to even claim he was a child solider seeing as how you condone his actions.

You've also said that rule of law is the way to go so then you are fine with that $10 million go to the Spencer Family and the blinded solider who won a lawsuit against him.

You're talking out both sides of your mouth claiming he is a victim yet at the same time saying what he did he had the right to do.

[Freakinoldguy]

Given that no one in their right mind except Trudeau would reward the killing of an American soldier, makes me wonder just how much of this "award" is politically motivated and being used as a very large stick to poke the current American President in they eye?

The truth about his "rehabilitation" will be in what he does with the current windfall of blood money he's about to get. If, he apologizes to his victims again and gives a goodly portion of his award to Tabitha Speers and Layne Morris (who are the ones who actually deserve compensation) then, I'll believe he's really rehabilitated. But, if he and his lawyer keep all this money for themselves it'll just to to prove that his apology was nothing more than meaningless rhetoric and he really did want to kill all Americans like he first claimed when questioned.

Then, if that takes place like I suspect it will, we as Canadian Taxpayers should be able to recoup our money and laughingly apologize to him again, because his actions will have shown that an insincere apology is all that's needed to expunge guilt and financial responsibility.

What I want to know is, how long will it be before the Kielburgers invite Khadr to speak at We Day?

The truth is if Omar Khadr was a white Canadian named Steve Rogers The Left in Canada would give a flying F*uck about him.

So what should they have done it's not like they were running the show. Would a formal complaint have stopped all this shit or made it worse.

The Supreme Court said they should have advocated for his return to Canada, and not used the confessions they knew were obtained under torture as evidence against him. Plus:

$1:

Mr. Khadr applied for habeas corpus on the basis that the ITOA mandated his placement in a provincial correctional facility. Under s. 20 of the ITOA, an adult Canadian who committed offences between the ages of 12 and 17 is to be detained in a provincial correctional facility for adults if the sentence imposed by the foreign entity would have been a youth sentence had the offence been committed in Canada.

If charter rights don't apply to Khadr, they don't apply to any of us. Remember, he's won 3 times in the Supreme Court.
