.....that he may have been much younger when he was recruited into child soldier service. He was believed to be 15 when picked up by American Forces in Afghanistan which makes him a child soldier and as such he deserves to be free. This is a huge shame for Canada. We allowed a child soldier to rot in Gitmo because he was a political hot potato.

On a sad note, Canada will eventually have to pay Omar Khadr significant payment for violation of his rights under Canada'a Charterbof Rights and Freedoms. Canada'a Supreme Court ruled years ago that his rights were infringed upon. It not if Canada will make him rich, it's when he will be rich and how much he will get! Sad but true!
