Omar khadr has recently won 10 million dollars from the canadian government. [Spirituality & Religion]

The wife of the soldier he is accused of killing wants all that money and more and an american court has ruled in her favour.
Should a canadian court uphold that verdict or leave Khadr with the money he won for the crimes of the canadian government against him?

the Canadian court should accept the American's court verdict. Or, you can make the problem go away without paying anything

Why? You'll have to give me more than that

@MetalGreymon This guy is a terrorist. His father was a terrorist. He should have been shot and chopped up into little pieces.

The Canadian government and court system is out of their minds.

If the Canadians actually pay this guy, I say we send in a SEAL Team to kill this guy and take the money out of his account.

@HoraceGreenley His whole family. Not to mention his sister praised Bin Laden.

@SatanBurger OK by me.

Odd. It was never proved in court that he was a terrorist.
So what you're actually advocating is vigilante "justice"in the absence of evidence.

And you feel that is a good way to run the justice system?
Or perhaps if the government throws the label "terrorist" out there without evidence they should be allowed to strip a person of their rights.

You advocate that kind of justice and you're mad at terrorists?

Time for a reality check, boy😉

@MetalGreymon he was in Gitmo.

I don't give a shit what a Canadian court found.

The only mistake was not killing him on the battlefield.

lol what kind of bullshit argument was that? He's guilty because he was in guantanamo?

Sorry if that's a misrepresentation of your statement. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not that stupid...

@MetalGreymon he was in Gitmo because he was picked up on a battlefield as an illegal combatant. That's what Gitmo was used for. He was released because he no longer had any intelligence value.

If a Canadian court wishes to make a political statement about Gitmo, which it can do since this guy is a Canadian citizen, then they are free to do so.

However the fact remains he took up arms against the USA and is defined as an illegal combatant (refer to the Geneva Convention for a handy definition).

Once in Gitmo he has no rights. If Canada feels guilty about his incarnation there, that's their problem. After all, he went to Pakistan after becoming a Canadian citizen and then came back to Canada. That behavior is usually problematic. Canada should pay better attention to people that do this. There have been terrorist attacks in Canada.

As for killing him, if the US deems him to be a national security threat, he may be legally assassinated. This is what we did with Osamara bin Ladin.

Killing a foreign national is allowable under those circumstances, even if done on foreign soil (which is an act of war). The point is, we can do these things legally.

@HoraceGreenley

lol you're just repeating yourself. By virtue of the fact that he was in gitmo, everything done to him in gitmo was justified.
Circular argument much?

[quote]As for killing him, if the US deems him to be a national security threat[/quote]

Buuuut they didn't. Because they didn't find him to be a threat. The just held and tortured him for ten years.
And here you are, crying for blood.
lol


You're advocating a system wherein the fact that a person has been imprisoned makes them guilty.
Thankfully the justice system is nor in the hands of people like you.😌

@MetalGreymon he was incarcerated for being an illegal combatant. What part of that don't you understand?
MetalGreymon · 36-40, M
@HoraceGreenley


Was he held without trial and tortured for 10 years for being an illegal combatant?
Is that a good example of justice?

lol owned.
Next argument please.
