File under: al-Qaeda

#1 Khadr hid behind a wall, and tossed a grenade after US troops believed the area was secure. The murder victim was a Field Medic; while front line, they are not first entry units. Khadr had every opportunity to surrender; if he had done so, then he would be free, like his older brother who was himself once a jihadi (cum Defense Intelligence operative in Europe and elsewhere).

I have no doubt that the terrorist feels sorry for himself. Tough. He should have been hanged in 2001.

#2 The little bastard should have been shot in the field as an illegal combatant. All in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
I wonder if the medic had a chance to cry out for his mother?

#4 He should have been interrogated then hung from a street lamp as a warning.

#5 Killing medics is bad form, bad form indeed.
Enjoy your stay you little cockroach.
Some day I hope they give you a trial and lengthy prison sentence, then deport your ass to Canada to be tried and sentenced again.

#6 Just got done reading Andy McCarthy's "Willful Blindness" about the Blind Sheikh and the 1993 WTC bombing as well as all the other ongoing "jihad" back then. Khadr is only using a ruse out of the AQ and Jihadi playbook that was captured on Salem's little tape recorder (he was the Egyptian mole they were using). They know more about our constitutional protections and US jurisprudence, than even Obama, who is supposedly a constitutional law instructor but doesn't even understand habeas corpus. In fact, they will do and say anything that makes them the victim and us the bad guys.... just like any good lawyer would do:)
