Too bad they didn't wax his ass when they had the chance.

Canada will issue an apology and compensation to former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr for abuses he suffered while in prison, reports say.Canadian-born Khadr, 30, was convicted in 2010 by a US military commission of killing a US soldier in Afghanistan.
He was captured in 2002 at the age of 15 and spent a decade in the US prison.
In 2010, Canada's Supreme Court ruled that he was interrogated under "oppressive circumstances." He will reportedly be paid $8m (£6m).
Khadr, who was the youngest prisoner ever detained at the naval base in Cuba, became a cause celebre for Guantanamo Bay opponents and his case received international attention.
He was convicted of five crimes, including throwing a grenade that killed Army Sgt Christopher Speer in 2002. He was shot and captured during the fire fight in Afghanistan.
Khadr said his confessions to US officials were made under duress
He was repatriated in 2012 after agreeing to a plea deal to leave Guantanamo and serve the majority of his eight-year sentence in Canada.

how charming, Canada applying its law outside its borders to Cuba

Just when you think the World can't get any worse. :faint: So this kid immigrated to Canada when he was 15, and went terrorist, and all, and they feel responsible, and award him 10 mil. F Canada and all libprogs. Disgusting.

Monello, according to tonight's news, it is 10 mil. Whatever. The terrorist arsehole should not have gotten a penny, much less tie up the courts, and cost money there, too. The World is doomed unless drastic changes are made by the people trying to reign in terrorism of any kind. RIP police woman that was assasinated in The Bronx, today. Oh, she was Black killed by a Black. Just putting another example out there of what is wrong. Nothing makes sense anymore. So don't even try to make sense of it. Hypocrisy and lunacy reigns. All I can conclude from the crap that happens everyday, is that the people in power, no matter what country, just like the power, and don't care what is really happening, or what their constituents think.
