Canadian Chat → Re: Canadian comes home from Guantanamo

And kindly look up section 11(d) of the Charter. Unless he has been convicted of treason, he is innocent of treason.

Again just because he wasn't charged does not mean he did not act out the crime... I'm sure there are plenty of murderers & thieves running lose who have not been charged....

He fought with the enemy against his country and it's allies... Now what do you call that?

By your logic if I drove 60 kph in a 30 kph zone and wasn't caught I would not have been speeding...

You would be presumed innocent just like he is. Deal with it, or file a private prosecution.

He killed an American medic. A Canadian (Khadr) killed an American who was our ally... sorry but that's treason whether or not he is convicted. Besides he admitted to the crime... So he is not innocent...

I don't think a JP would even consider that regardless of the evidence vue had.

I found this person's comments rather interesting....»blog.xanthippas.com/2009 ··· un-laws/

He makes other interesting points too.

I was looking up what happened to all the kids in gitmo and else-where. I never realized there were, so many aged 13 and up. Hundreds that are known of. Maybe thousands that are unknown of.

Kids murdered at gitmo or various other US torture houses.

Kids sent back home to be tortured further.

Kids sent to UNICEF (and others like UNICEF) for child soldier rehabilitation.

I read as many of their stories that I could muster. It hit me a little bit.

If they weren't murdered by their American torturers, they were re-tossed into torture or prisons where they came from, some made it, some snapped and became suicide bombers. It's all over the board.

Some kids were just picked up off the streets and sold to the Americans for 10$, then they ended up being tortured, or died, or let go 8 years later.

It's mind numbing how many there were. And how many were just randomly picked up and labeled.

A true American atrocity committed. A crime that no one will ever punish. But History at least is documented.

I think the only "rants" I came across that made sense to me was those by Canadian Senator, Roméo Dallaire in defending the child soldiers.

He himself have worked with them in Rwanda and else-where.

I don't know about the rest of you, but that is one Senator that commands respect when he speaks. He put down the Canadian government as well in regards to their obligations to Child soldiers and Canada's responsibility to Kadhar. And has been for years.

It's sad really.

As said above, these kids have seen things, been through things in a short period of time that many of you people who frown upon them will never (luckily) get to experience in a whole life time.

Yet chooses to selectively ignore others. Read it.

By your logic we should suspend your driver's license because you're a dangerous habitual speeder, even though you've never been convicted of speeding.
