What do you think of young Omar Khadr ?

Question

Is he innocent? At the wrong place at the wrong time? He claims "three U.S. soldiers "just came over and shot me"

OR is he a hapless product of indoctrination gone mad?

i really can't decide. All i can see is that he is really very young to be in such a mess.

Your thoughts please.

Answer 1

send him to canada.. i dont think he deserves to be there..

Answer 2

If 3 soldiers came over and just shot him, he would not have lived to tell the tale.

A Liar after a few bucks.

Answer 3

Another child victim of Bush & his terror-machine.If you ask what was he doing in Afghanistan,maybe he was visiting relatives.Any-way,what are the Americans & the rest doing in Afghanistan?It's not their country either.

Answer 4

He was a child at the time of his capture. In a civilised society he would have been rehabilitated and educated. Instead he has been forced to spend the most formative years of his life as a victim in torture centres.

In Africa child soldiers who have committed atrocities above and beyond anything Omar Khadr is accused of are being rehabilitated. The American state is obviously less civilised than African states.

Answer 5

He deserves to be charged and then a very Speedy Trial, not Incarcerated and Tortured for 5 Years in an Illegal Prison. The united States broke the Law, thats the type of thing Dictatorships have done  like former Soviet Union and Hitlers n**i Era. They went against the Geneva Convention and any other Convention like The Rights of Man, you are entitled to be charged and tried if not you should be released. George Bush is a War Criminal and should be entitled to be Charged and brought to Trial. He instituted these New Laws and broke all the Rules that we Abided by

That said what was this Person doing in Afghanistan in the first place knowing what was happening there. He is Guilty of Something if only by Association, He Sympathises with what they are doing. He was there possibly to fight for them. A  lot of Innocent People got Shot by American Soldiers including British Soldiers and members of Relief Organisations and Civilians and Police ,They are very Trigger Happy the American Soldiers , so it is possible that he was Shot by them in Error.

I think He should have been sent Home to Canada and kept under casual  Surveillance, if the Authorities were not sure of his Affiliations. If he was still involved in anything Suspicious then he would incriminate himself quick enough then they could Lay Charges against Him. As it is he is Illegally being Held in Guantanimo by the Yanks.

Answer 6

The guy's spent half of his teen years in an illegal prison in an American military base in Cuba (that's screwed enough), for a possible crime he may have comitted while a kid in a country where the U.S. shouldn't have been in the first place.

Simply put he's a Canadian and should be sent to Canada for the mess to be sorted out.  U.S. and Canadian politicians are treating him like a pawn in a game.

I wouldn't be surprised if he either kills himself or spends the rest of his life in prison.

I'm just glad that the world is watching.

Answer 7

Wrong place wrong time.He has only himself to blame.

Answer 8

If Omar Khadr is innocent as he claims, what was he doing in Afghanistan?  Don't tell me, reading the Qor'an, right?  Wrong.  Omar Khadr was there to be trained as a killer along with dozens [thousands possibly] of other stupid people who think they are doing God's work.

For the sake of his sanity and his place in Paradise, Omar Khadr should pay more attention to this. . . . .

Answer 9

None of them have adequate excuses for being there in the first place. If you fight against us it is called treason and you deserve to be in prison for that.

Answer 10

Yeah i seen the video. The libs are screaming "Hes being tortured in the video".

Bullcrap. They never lay a hand on him. They never torture him. He just sits there crying like a little baby the whole time.

Hes scum. There is a old saying make your bed hard you have to lay in it..............

Answer 11

'Shouldn't make the boy cry'. That's what my old father used to say.

Answer 12

Faith don't be fooled by his age. His father was also a terrorist who was killed a few years ago. This "child" travelled from Canada to Afghanistan on his own and was caught throwing a grenade which killed an American soldier. Now he is behaving like a child crying for his mother. I wonder if he thinks about the mother of the soldier he killed.?

Answer 13

Do not believe a word he says.  His family are boon companions of Osama bin Laden, and he will not hesitate to lie if it will get him loose on the streets of Toronto to kill again.

We don't want him! Don't send him here!

Canada has troubles enough already. This guy already killed one man and will certainly do it again if he get's the chance.

The Khadr family travel from country to country committing acts of terrorism and visiting with Osama bin Laden. Somehow they managed to bamboozle the Canadian government into giving them sanctuary. As soon as they heat was off, they headed back to Afghanistan to kill more Americans.

When they get sick, they high-tail it back to Canada to sponge off our free medical care.

From all the reports I've seen, Khadr believes totally in his mission to kill Americans in the name of his God.  If he cries, it's only because he got caught.  There's no word that he shed any tears for the American medic he killed.  

I haven't the slightest doubt that he would be out throwing hand granades at people and plotting terrorist acts if he gets the Brenda Martin treatment and is set loose in Canada.

Answer 14

He should be released into Canadian custody where he will not be treated like a dog.

It is awful to see such a young man being treated so inhumanly and our government do nothing about it.

Answer 15

Probably got in out of his depth and now sees a path to " get rich quick " and if US soldiers had shot him then one they would have killed him and two it would be for a reason.
