Omar Khadr granted bail, but release isn't immediate

Bail? I thought he alerady confessed. Can't keep track of this one. Probably tortured into a confession though, so I support this.

Maybe he can stay at your house. The wife will get used to the burkha, eventually.

This shit-stain should rot in cells for the rest of his miserable life. The rest of his family should join him.

He is granted bail while his original conviction in US. Military court is challenged (based on a confession obtained by torture).

He's set to be released on early parole from the conviction anyhow, in June.

It's disgusting how the Left sees him as a Hero.

If I understand it, his dad took him to Afghanistan to fight the Americans, including making roadside bombs. They got fragged by American troops after which Khadr threw a grenade that killed an American medic. Khadr was 15 at the time. There's some doubt as to whether or not Khadr threw the greande, but he confessed under torture.

If somebody fragged my old man, I'd have no trouble throwing a grenade at them. Even though his father was a Grade A prick, his kid wouldn't have known that.

Should have just executed him right there. No identifiable uniform, not a citizen of the the country the war was being fought in. In WW2 we'd have called him a spy and shot him dead right there.

I'd agree if he wasn't a kid.

It was fairly tragic when in l'il Omar's case the army guys chose that moment to be economically responsible with bullets.

I'd agree if he wasn't a kid.

Sorry Zip don't agree one bit. We executed "kids" this young back in WW2 without a second thought. Once the shooting starts you're responsible for whatever happens to you, regardless of age.

Exactly. Surrendering Germans were also shot by Allied troops, including Canadians, because they didn't want the Allied advance slowed down by POWs. War is clean. It's a series of lesser evils committed in the name of a greater good. The end justified the means.

I'd agree if he wasn't a kid.


Except he wasn't.

He was a terrorist, and still is.

Enraged Canadian soldiers executed teenaged German Hitler Jungend after that same body was found to be executing Canadians. There are certain parallels, here.

I was referring to the D-Day landing and the big push into Normandy. Several of the vets on on the CBC documentary commemorating D-Day, mentioned killing the Germans because they didn't have time to deal with them.
