#1 Khadr is being peddled as a clone of Africa's "child soldiers." The factual narrative of the murder by Khadr is as follows: 1. US troops entered an al-Qaeda compound, and acted to secure same; there wasn't a major firefight. 2. A Medic would normally only enter a "clear" zone, however, that might not always be the case. When the Medic entered, Khadr - who understood every word of English - hid behind a wall and waited for an opportunity to make a kill with the grenade that he held in hand. 3. given every opportunity to surrender and accept US custody, he tossed a grenade with knowledge that doing so would cause the death of a US soldier. 4. without further arms for aggression, he was seized and taken into custody. 5. every al-Qaeda terrorist took a blood oath (bayat) to Osama bin Laden and Mullah Umar, under text that put the testator under obligation to make jihad to the death. Clearly, Khadr understood the oath and both gave same with the same knowledge of an adult, and carried it out as would an adult.

Is the above narrative true or false? I have little doubt, given incontravertible facts. There are several witnesses for the prosecution. Put the little terrorist on trial as an adult. It is foolish to let this issue float.

The Canadian tape was released by judges who wanted an international audience to hear American soldiers accused of "torture." That is BS. The "Standard Operating Procedures" used at Delta Camp, Gitmo are on the internet. Frankly, I find them inept at best, and worthy of the terrorist derision that they received, at worst. Further, I have seen a UK production, "Road to Guantanamo Bay" which featured 4 UK muslims who were captured with Taliban and sent to Gitmo; none claimed to have been tortured. Captured al-Qaeda documents disclose standing orders that bind captives to make claims of torture, in order to engage the dhimmi-equivocators.
