What do we think of the canadian government paying Omar Khadr 10 million dollars for human rights volations?

Omar Khadr is a canadian and was a child soldier who killed an american soldier with a grenade during a firefight in Afghanistan. He was a minor but was still sent to Guantanamo where he was abused.
Now he's being awarded 10 million dollars. People are outraged. The widow of the soldier wants to make sure he gets none of that money.
They say he murdered that soldier and that he is a war criminal.

It seems to me that he killed an enemy combatant in a war zone. It seems to me that whatever he did his human rights were still violated in Guantanamo.

So do his critics have a leg to stand on?

He should be killed. Are there any Patriots left in Canada?

Can you explain why he should be killed?
Should a canadian soldier in Afghanistan be killed?

@MetalGreymon: Because he killed our soldiers. Canadians have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So you also think a canadian soldier deserves to die at the hands of his enemies?

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
