In his first interview since his release on bail, Omar Khadr talks about the controversial firefight with U.S. soldiers in 2002, his decade incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay and his new-found "freedom high."

    "Thanks for the tongue bath, CBC," says Omar, as the Red Star further accomodates him with a reach around.

    I'll bet by this fall the CBC will offer him a job as their new Mid-Eastern reporter. :roll:

    Didn't watch it. I refuse to watch anything about that family, unless it was their public execution.

    It's too bad then. I like to get as much information on a subject as I can. Since this is the first time we've gotten to hear things from his side of the story, I was interested. And quite surprised. Imagine my shock when this documentary revealed that he is not the Jihadi Islamist fundamentalist bomb maker that the government portrays him as! To my surprise the government has lied to me, yet again.

    He distances himself quite far from his family, to the point of disowning them. I think the great revelation was his discussing his antagonistic relationship with one the Guantanamo guards, and the subsequent interview with the guard on how Omar's actions changed him.

    You are a pretty smart man, I'm sure if you watch the interview with a open mind you'd be quite surprised. Here's a little spoiler - in one scene you see this hard core Islamist Fundamentalist sitting at the kitchen table having a breakfast of and Eggs. Scandalous!

    He was a bomb maker. I don't doubt he believed in the jihadi cause at the time - didn't really have much option. He says his mother an sister were stupid for making the comments they did - that can just as easily be taken to mean he's smarter, knows to keep his mouth shut.

    I only saw an excerpt on the news. What stood out to me is that several US soldiers testified that it could not have been Khadr that threw the grenade. And that his father "gave" him to the taliban. I don't really think he had much choice in doing what he did, although again, video seemed to show him participating eagerly.

    In the end it doesn't matter to me. He wasn't treated right according to our own laws, and that shame is on us. He's also served a very severe sentence - no other 15 y o would get that kind of harsh time for murder, so we've had our pound of flesh. But, you know, I hope they continue to keep a weary eye on him.

    A pound will never be enough for the frothers. It's Pavlovian. Ring the bell and wait for the response.

    I agree. He plead guilty to a war crime, therefore he was a child soldier. If he wasn't a child soldier, he was a young offender, and should be treated accordingly.

    What went on in Guantanamo is not how we treat either of those cases.

    I believe in treating a person based on how they . And this man has shown to me that he plans to act like a good upstanding member of the community. Until he shows otherwise, I think that is how society should treat him.
