    It was Canada's former PM, Stephen Harper, a poodle of USrael, who refused to let Omar come home!!

    A big warm hug from the heart for Omar....

    You have misunderstood the issue at hand. Omar Khadr's basic human rights were violated by the former Canadian Government by not helping or assisting a Canadian child. He was only 15 when captured by the Americans.
    Here is an interesting interview with representatives from the Canadian Government:

    http://video.theloop.ca/watch/vets-protest-omar-khadr-settlement/5496088898001
    (stay on the video, it changes automatically to the next interview.)

    When it comes to money, everybody becomes greedy. Now the widow of that American soldier who got killed by the grenade, apparently thrown by Omar while already wounded, is launching a lawsuit against the Canadian Government. She wants compensation!

    Also, some Canadian veterans are protesting over Khadr's settlement.

    Just wait and see how many more will come out of the woodwork to hold out their own hands for money.
    Canada has opened a can of worms with its generosity towards Omar Khadr.

    There is actually no evidence of this. He was a 16-year old citizen of Canada who was found severely wounded in a bunch of rubble after a grenade was thrown. An adult was also found at the site too. We just assumed that he did it. He admitted to the crime but he later said he only did so to avoid torture. He was imprisoned without trial and tortured and was never given a proper trial as a citizen of Canada.

    Now, that sounds a little more civilized. Many Canadians, too, were surprised.
    Here is a clarifying statement from Hamburg by Trudeau himself:

    Khadr apology and settlement about violation of Charter rights, Trudeau says
    [​IMG]
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to the media during his closing news conference at the G20 summit Saturday, July 8, 2017 in Hamburg, Germany.

    HAMBURG -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says an apology and reported $10.5 million compensation payment to former Guantanamo Bay inmate Omar Khadr was a basic matter of following Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

    Trudeau answered a question about the Khadr settlement on Saturday at the closing press conference following the G20 leaders' summit in Hamburg, Germany.

    On Friday, the government confirmed a payment had been made to Khadr to settle a longstanding lawsuit. Khadr's suit claimed Canada had violated his rights and was complicit with the United States when he was detained at the U.S. base in Cuba, denied access to a lawyer and tortured.

    http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/khad...tion-of-charter-rights-trudeau-says-1.3494665
    ---------
    Canada, under the Conservative Harper Government, acted disgustingly by refusing to help Khadr or to condemn the US for their violation of basic human rights and their barbarous, uncivilized treatment of human beings.

    So a kid who is INDOCTRINATED by his family but has not yet reached manhood is accountable for not knowing any better?

    He deserves an apology because his rights as a CANADIAN CITIZEN were abused by the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT not to mention being a minor under Canadian law, the result of which was him rotting in Gitmo for 11 years before the heat got to much and he was finally transfered to the Canadian justice system. We tend to take things like that rather seriously.

    Scumbag Islamists get no sympathy from virtually all Canadians. But their being scumbags doesn't mean the principles of human and civil rights upon which our nation is founded should be set aside in their cases.

    If you think it's easy to keep a 15 yo brainwashed by family members, you have never tried to raise a teenager. Fourteen and fifteen year olds are full of rebellion against their upbringing. This person was no innocent at 15...unless he is one of the bad results of inbreeding they practice in some parts of the Mideast.

    I could see a few thousand dollars to give him a new start in life...but the amount provided is more than his sorry life is worth even if he lives to be a hundred...and I'll bet part of the tax money collected to pay for it comes from relatives of people he harmed or murdered. Does he plan to pay reparations with some of that money? If the medic he murdered has a widow I hope she sues.

    This whole business is an excellent example of the financial elites having no clue regarding the true value of money, or the effort it takes most to accrue such an amount.

    Oh there probably be no reparations paid, perhaps monies funneled to further "assist" some of radical jihad pals, or bring in more refugees from the ME, whom are ..able bodied..but won't fight for their backyard, but choose to come over here with their dirty laundry.

    Sounds more like you got no regard for the true value of law and order.
    Seriously... torturing a child going into adulthood for 10 years, and think you can buy this off with a 2000 bucks? lol

    No. It's more like the US is not allowed to send people to a country where they most certainly would be tortured to even killed by their government. So the US went grovelling around the world to please take people we tortured here for a decade, but are actually innocent because we could not make a trial against them. So a bunch of countries helped out, while others refused because they don't trust that the US will not do this again.

    The bigger problem was in getting Republicans to fund the closing.

    And everytime he released some of the prisoners people like you whined, and cried, about it. Then you say the left has no respect for the Constitution when you agree to hold people without trial for an unlimited amount of time.

    That why Trump's speech in Warsaw was spot on. Some countries, and almost all liberals in the western world actively work against the best interest of indigenous population. They don't have the stomach for a fight, they prefer appeasing. This guy should've been executed long time ago. Forget about human rights for jihadists. They deserve a bullet.

    There's no need to "buy him off"--he's a murderer.

    There are some 30 odd Jihadist training camps here in America that have been around for 30 years. Trump, like so many "manly" right wingers, is a coward that lacks the balls to go after them. All he can do is whine, and hope someone else will do the fighting for him.

    BTW, when was the last time we executed a teen age murderer in this country?

    "Progressive" Marxists have made it impossible-- there is always the possibility that a pernicious killer will escape and create more social havoc so they can again "forgive" him, as usual, even before asking how the new victim/s are doing.

    You execute them out there in the field (Afghanistan, Somalia, the Middle East, Cuba…) before they even cross the border. Execute them on the spot. No prisoners. Do it for a year or so and you will see miraculous results. Nothing to do with the right wing politics. This is nipping the Sunni radicals in the bud. As they cannot be reformed the most logical way is to eliminate them before they spread their ‘virus’ and infect others.

    Furthermore, they aren’t afraid of our laws, they aren’t afraid of our law enforcement, they cannot believe how stupid our human right acts are, they take full advantage of them and they continue spreading across the western world. A fact anyone with modicum of intelligence can easily verify. Just compare the data from 1995-2000-2010-2015…Real numbers don’t lie.

    Incidentally, Bill Clinton’s administration opened up Europe for Sunni radical jihadists. They set up training centers under his watch in Albania, Bosnia, Georgia, Kosovo etc...

    Well, in that case a lot of Americans deserve the same... they are the aggressors, the destroyers of countries, the murderers of children and women.

    According to Iraq Body Count, between 2003 and 2011, U.S. coalition forces killed at least 1,201 children in Iraq alone.

    Airwars.org estimates that more recent attacks by U.S.-allied forces against Islamic forces in Iraq and Syria have killed at least 1,239 civilians, including an unknown number of children.

    According to a recent United Nations report, U.S. and allied forces killed 24 children in Afghanistan in 2014.

    The Bureau of Investigative Journalism
    estimates that U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan over the past decade have killed between 172 and 207 children.

    These documented cases are just a tiny fraction of all child casualties of U.S.-led attacks.

    “Most children killed and injured directly by U.S. forces and their allies were killed the same way as their parents: they died when bombs fell; when they were caught in ‘cross-fire’; shot in night raids; shot at check-points and run over by U.S. convoys who speed through the streets and roads. The roadside deaths are often not recorded unless the U.S. gives some compensation to the families.”

    Then wouldn't it make more sense to financially support all those people who lost their children and loved ones as a result of the U.S raids (collateral damage) instead of paying up Sunni radical jihadists for spending their time in prison? I don't support DJT on everything he says but one thing I fully support him is his views on immigration and radical Muslims (I disagree with him on Iran). We reached the stage when it is us (the western world) versus them radical/political Islam (Wahhabis, Muslims Brotherhood, Salafists etc...). Only one side can prevail. Their views are totally incompatible with our way of life. So it is of utmost importance that Europeans and Americans keep them out of their countries. Controlled immigration.

    It'll never happen - the enemy inside liberals would go ballistic! I'm afraid that 'the horse has already bolted, so it's too late to lock the stable door'?
