According to a motion to suppress ruling by military judge Patrick Parrish, various interrogation techniques were used on Khadr, but it was ruled that there was no credible evidence that Khadr had been tortured as alleged, and that his confession was gained after it was revealed that Americans had discovered a videotape of Khadr and others making IED's. 14 minutes ago, Spiderfish said: Did not the courts find he'd been tortured? Did they just take his word for it without evidence? They certainly did, and found the commission unlawful in 3 seperate cases. Quote

Let me slow it down for you dude, there..is...no...proof...he...was...working...for...any....army. He was taken to Afghanistan by his father as a young child. You can blame daddy but you can't translate that blame at your whim to rest on the child. I understand that people who are weak enough to buy into xenophobia tend to go completely down the rabbit hole. But others who do not fall for that attempt to observe and uphold the laws we have worked so hard to create and be proud of. Quote

Hudson Jones Posted July 13, 2017 Report Posted July 13, 2017 Khadr’s chief 'interrogator' was Joshua Claus. Who is Joshua Claus? In 2005, Mr. Claus accepted a plea bargain before a court martial, where he admitted to forcing water down a detainee’s throat, twisting a hood over his head until he choked, and to abuse of an Afghan taxi driver who died in custody from his injuries. Mr. Claus was discharged from the army. During his testimony, when asked whether he shone excruciatingly bright lights in Mr. Khadr’s eyes after surgery on those eyes, whether he put a bag over Mr. Khadr's head and choked him, whether he threw him off a hospital stretcher hours after major surgery, whether he bound Mr. Khadr’s hands over his head and hung them from the ceiling for hours, whether he subjected him to prolonged sleep deprivation and stress positions, whether he threatened Mr. Khadr with rape in a U.S. prison by “big black men,” Mr. Claus mostly shook his head, or smirked and replied that he couldn’t remember. What would you confess if you got to hang out with Joshua Claus? Especially if you are a child? Another thing that bothers me about the approach some are taking is the strange double standards many have. Why is the U.S. military allowed to kill people, like Khadr, but Khadr and the others he was with are not allowed to? Did Speers kill anyone during the fire fight? Would he be charged for it if he did? What about the thousands of innocent civilians who have been killed by U.S. and ally military? How many times have they been convicted for murder for killing innocent civilians? The Canadian government should have absolutely apologized to Khadr and the compensation is just a drop for what they allowed to continue. I mean, even after the U.S. said that they are willing to return Khadr, the Canadian government REFUSED to take the child. Canada was complicit in the commission of grave human rights violations against Khadr at the hands of foreign governments, and did nothing to protect him. Quote When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi

Is it a Charter Right to build and detonate IEDs anywhere in the world that Team Khadr chooses to kill for Allah ? Did Khadr carry proper jihadist liability insurance ?

And you just not get that that's not necessarily my opinion, but the opinion of international and Canadian law. Please try to keep up because repeating the same facts continuously becomes laborious. So now you're admitting he was engaged in battle? BTW, he wasn't a terrorist. He IS a terrorist. Quote
