Fifteen-year-old child warrior, who from his point of view was fighting against foreign invaders. How does one get charged with unlawful murder for killing an enemy soldier who was part of an attack force attacking you and yours with deadly force in a war zone? Whatever happened to POW status?
I'm fine with him getting bail during his appeal. A POW would have been sent home years ago. Hell, a POW would never have been charged for killing enemy combatants in such circumstances.
hes Canadian how was he fighting against foreign invaders?
His family maintained residences in both Canada and in the Peshawar tribal region, and Khadr received much of his education in Peshawar. Prior to the creation of Pakistan, this region had been part of Afghanistan, and even now the tribal and family lines in the area don't really take much note of official border between the two nations.
Kahdr was the local, the Americans were the foreign invaders much like the Russians were the foreign invaders before them.
How much does one need to know about the specifics? In light of all the bloodshed and atrocities from both sides it's kind of rich to see parliamentarians get up and make hay on the back of a 15yr. old soldier. That kind of righteous indigestion should be reserved for social media.
Why should we pay to house and give medical aid to his family who hate canada and fought on the talibans side?
Good points as usual sonny. He was 15 yrs. old.
Yeah so what . What does that have to do with the rest of his family. Their Al Qaeda training, the fact his father was killed fighting as a Taliban ,their hate of the west and the fact they are on welfare in canada and his brother who was injured fighting with the Taliban receives full medical care from us. You ok with that?
I'm just looking at the individual. He was 15 yrs. old. Did he even do what he was accused of? We're talking bail after 13 yrs.
He is a piece of crap and so is his whole family. If you think 15 is an age when you don't know what you are doing you are seriously out of touch. What age do people start to know right and wrong in your book? 16 17 18 35.?
If he is not in uniform he is a terrorist.
Hey you had to "survive" boarding, he was in a war torn country. Did I mention he was 15yrs. old and is declaring his innocence? That he had to make an impossible deal? What deal did you make to survive boarding school? Did you have ride in a car without matching numbers?
