Omar Khadr has just recieved his 10 million dollars that he won in the suit against the canadian government. How do you feel about that?

I don't think they were wrong to give it to him.
He was detained as a minor, held without trial and tortured for a decade.
The canadian and american government violated his human rights.

Frankly all these people saying he's a traitor and didn't deserve a trial or deserved to die are acting in exactly the manner they hate the terrorists for acting.

he did injure a dude and should pay for that Now american system is rather fucked but these are the people who want us dead so its iffy. He is a victim of circumstance with his father being linked to many terrorist groups but that does not excuse his crime.

@Firespirit

Should every soldier pay for killing an enemy in a firefight?

Firespirit · 26-30, M

@MetalGreymon You can't hold us solders responsible as they can determine there own crimes

@Firespirit

Sorry, can you clarify that point for me?
US soldiers are not responsible for the men they kill but khadr is because...?

Firespirit · 26-30, M

@MetalGreymon They are not terrorists and us soldiers are under strict laws and soldiers code while terrorists goal is to evoke terror and they attacks civilians and innocent people like 9/11 for example or any number of attack we have seen this year from the truck attacks and mass shooting

@Firespirit

And how do you know khadr was a terrorist?
No evidence to that effect was presented during his trial.
All we know for sure is that he was a 15 year old accused of killing a soldier during a firefight.

Are you assuming his guilt in the absence of evidence? Is he guilty until proven innocent?
Pardon me, but i didn't think that was how our justice system worked.
