Once again, to try and enlighten you...

I have no doubt you will pass this information by and continue denying the facts.

You should read your own cites.

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Boumediene v. Bush (2008) that the MCA constituted an unconstitutional encroachment of habeas corpus rights, and established jurisdiction for federal courts to hear petitions for habeas corpus from Guantanamo detainees tried under the Act.[20] As such, the provisions of MCA suspending Habeas Corpus are no longer in effect.

II think Rue maybe has some "fat fingers" when it comes to keyboarding.

I don't know how anyone can type properly on some of the phones in use these days. Seems most people use their thumbs to type. I'll stick to my desktop for these forums.

Amongst the implications is the reality that to punish Khadr the way his persecutors would like to see him punished we'd have to get rid of the Charter, the Geneva Conventions and whatever other international agreements that govern our conduct will have to go.

These goofs understand the implications perfectly well. They've been screaming about getting rid of these things on general principles for decades.

Of course the only way to do that is to get rid of all the lefties.

 

I'm pretty sure the charter allows for prosecution of murderers/terrorists.

I'll stick to just giving people some leeway for typos.

I figure if that's all you got to attack someone on.....your arguements prolly aren't very good.

Sleep deprivation is a recognized form of torture.

Looking at Khadr's present day pictures and listening to his interviews, he seems pretty healthy to me. If he was sleep deprived it did not have a lasting effect on his well being. He's one up on the US soldier he killed. He's still alive and millions richer but the husband and father of two is dead.

If the Charter is to guarantee security of the person I would think that prosecution of murderers, terrorists and other criminals is one way to ensure said security..

Did you have a problem with the UN telling us it was ok to invade Afghanistan?

Of course you didn't. Just like you don't trust a single thing Khadr says unless it's to plead guilty under duress. Then you love him to death.

The US were illegal invaders who had no legal/legitimate reason to be in Afghanistan. 

Another one who got fooled about the goings on in Afghanistan. Actually, a US crew was in Afghanistan to film episodes of The Walking Dead. Gotcha! :P

Good grief...your cite was regarding the ruling in 2006.  Take a look at the date of the article you cited.

You honestly need to start doing your own research...

There's the important phrase you need to get a handle on. They had been denied that right under the kangaroo court.

 

The court ruled that detainees had the right to access US federal courts to challenge their detentions

So Canadian to air domestic disputes in American newspapers....war criminal Omar Khadr's settlement is no exception.

The burst of attention started with a Wall Street Journal piece by a Canadian opposition MP.

Conservative Peter Kent published a scorching op-ed titled, “A Terrorist’s Big Payday, Courtesy of Trudeau,” that helped the story gain traction elsewhere.
