- Gitmo terrorist who killed a U.S. soldier gets $8M and apology from Canada gov't

A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who pleaded guilty to killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan received an apology and a multimillion-dollar payment from the Canadian government after a court ruling said his rights were abused. Wow. I won't blame Canadians as a whole for supporting this stupidity, as 71% of them are against it: http://globalnews.ca/news/3589498/omar-khadr-compensation-canadians-poll/

Yeah, we talked about this a little while ago. I think it was half and half amongst the people who replied, regarding whether or not we agreed with the turn of events. Personally, I think they should have made sure he was dead on the field. But it's Canada paying him, so that's to be expected.

I mean, they had a shame of a trial in the US that awarded them like 130+ million but that doesn't apply to our country. They're going through our courts to try and get the money though. Just today they applied to have his assets frozen while they try to sue him here and it was denied. Funkydog posted...

There's a lot of gray surrounding this case.
The "murder" was alleged. They say he threw a grenade but couldn't prove it, sent him to Guantanamo Bay where he was "interrogated" allegedly tortured (He was under 18 at the time) and was told he would never be allowed to leave until he confessed. Then the second he got back to Canada he renouced the confession and kicked up a storm and has done for years. It's a big issue of rights violation. I still think there's an argument to be made about what he deserves, but people do themselves no favors when they say " terrorist who killed a U.S. solier gets given MILLIONS!" They're just as dumb and kool-aid drinking as the "Zimmerman was a cop who shot Trayvon Martin in the back of the head because he's so racist!" guys. Life isn't as simple a that, you're just looking for reasons to simplify things to justify being angry

Lorenzo_2003 posted... Which part? He was an enemy combatant. I'm not even considering the fact that he pleaded guilty to killing the US soldier. He should have been killed on the field because he took up arms and engaged in a firefight on behalf of Al-Qaeda. I do not agree with torture, though. Regarding the Canada comment, that one should be obvious. In Canada, for example, you can sue and win against a comedian, if they hurt your feelings. Yes, that's actually happened, at least twice in the last four years. It does not surprise me one bit that Canadians would not only pay a terrorist but that they would also apologize to him. But, it's Canada and it's Canadian tax money, so whatever.

But Khadr did have a very good chance of winning based on the previous SC ruling. How much would he have gotten? Unknown. Probably not the 20 million asked for and maybe not the 10.5 he got. I'm not overly happy with the amount but his rights WERE violated.

This is what I mean about it being sad that you do it intentionally. Those 71% of angry Canadians don't have people telling them the actual facts and ignore them. They just don;t hear the facts.
"Terrorist soldier murderer given millions!"
vs
"Teen accused of murder illegally imprisoned for many years, tortured and eventually given compensation for severe rights violations."
Are utterly different stories.
And the saddest part is there is still enough gray to warrant being angry about the incident, but that's not enough you have to lie and ignore facts... It's frankly bizarre.

Indeed.
The evidence that he was a murderer is sketchy at best. That's why they were "interrogating" him in GITMO for a confession in the first place. Starting when he was underage too.
It's really f***ed up and people like TC should be ashamed that they are so cowardly in themselves that they purposely ignore it just to drum up outrage.

Like I mean if you have substainal evidence to get a guilty virdict there would be no reason to even send him there, plus I'm pretty sure rules of engagement would apply at that point in time as the US had declared war. So it would not have been an act of terrorism but an act of war. If they had hard evidence to prove he did what they said he should have been protected by laws that protect prisoners of war.

Granted, regardless if he did that specific thing or not he was no saint. He did still work for and likely participated in terror related activities. Although if it was against military personnel, the country was being invaded.... Either way, not an excuse for what happened.

Absolutely agreed. Which also raised questions about the message sent by an official apology.
Which is why I maintain that there is still so much gray in this case that it is reasonable to get outraged at reality.
Which is why I don't get the desire to reject reality and lie/ignore facts to make reasons to get outraged. It's weird.

Yeah, he is far from a saint but even if he didn't throw a grenade.. he was still a citizen of Canada and regardless still a person. Torture can't be condoned and if we start allowing governments to say human rights don't apply to certain people, we are just giving them control over who can be treated fairly to an extent that could be applied far worse in the future.
I would think no one would be happy to allow any government the level of control as to say who qualifies as a person or not.

It can be spun as "Libcuck nation of p****** bends over to accommodate terrorist, like every european country ever", but the fact is that there was enough evidence to deem the guy's detainment unlawful, to the point that Canada spent like $120 million on legal fees to combat this guy's lawsuit and they still lost.
Repeat: Canada spent $120 million to fight a lawsuit against a man who was illegally detained and tortured in Gitmo for a decade, and there was enough evidence against them that they lost. Trudeau didn't cut him a check, kiss his cheek and send him on his merry way - Khadr successfully sued Canada.

You're not the Batman, you don't just get to administer vigilante justice or vigilante verdicts just because the law didn't uphold your narrative about the police.

If there was ANY consistency to be found, you'd expect the people that side with Canada to also side with the cop that got the payout after being found innocent, especially given that the f***ing terrorist is known to be guilty yet still got a payout.

Oh my bad, thought it was known. Wasn't he known to be a terrorist abroad?
His dad was a known terrorist. He was an underage suspected terrorist.
He was accused of murder but there wasn't any real conclusive evidence for it and the little evidence they had implied he didn't throw the grenade.
He "confessed" to the murder but only after a stay in Gitmo where among other things he was deprived sleep and told he would never be allowed to leave unless he confessed.
Second he got back to Canada he recanted the confession and sued. Canadian courts have tried for years to argue that he was a murderer and its okay to torture him and have utterly failed to substantiate either claim.
It's not as black and white as people like TC wish it to be
I'm skeptical of any argument that begins with "Well it's okay to torture kids"

Actually, combat reports prior to his stay in Gitmo and American soliders that were there back up the fact that he wasn't even the one that threw the grenade. Also he only plead guilty because he was told that was the only way he would be transferred to Canada and receive a trial.

I can't believe some people think sleep deprivation isn't a form of torture. Amazing.
"Oh, he was just inconvenienced for a while before an interrogation! Nothing too bad - after all, he's a terrorist! They could have done a lot worse, and honestly he should be thankful that they didn't - see? He doesn't deserve to win a lawsuit! Even if he was detained illegally for a decade, they didn't even treat him that badly!"

He was taken to Gitmo because he was a terrorist. He was "tortured" (i.e. kept up without sleep for a while) during his interrogations to see if he has additional intel on other terrorist plots.
This poor terrorist and his rights.
Sleep deprivation is considered torture. Lack of sleep is incredibly dangerous and the level at which is employed in these manners is enough to be clearly called that.
Just because you think staying up late or missing a sleeps night is "lol" doesnt mean it compares at all to being forced to stay up for near 200 hours - a point to which you start to experience episodes of hallucinations and can lead to death if prolonged.

Also, I'm not sure why we're having this argument about sleep deprivation like that's the only think Khadr was put through
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khadr
Ahmed later recalled that while after some interrogations Khadr returned to his cell smiling and discussing what movies he had been shown, other times he returned crying and would huddle in the corner with his blanket over his head.[23] In the early spring of 2003, Khadr was told "Your life is in my hands" by a military interrogator, who spat on him, tore out some of his hair and threatened to send him to a country that would torture him more thoroughly, making specific reference to an Egyptian Askri raqm tisa ("Soldier Number Nine") who enjoyed raping prisoners. The interrogation ended with Khadr being told he would spend the rest of his life in Guantanamo.[24] A few weeks later, an interrogator giving his name as Izmarai spoke to Khadr in Pashto, threatening to send him to a "new prison" at Bagram Airbase where "they like small boys".
In all, Khadr has been reported to have been kept in solitary confinement for long periods of time; to have been denied adequate medical treatment; to have been subjected to short shackling, and left bound, in uncomfortable stress positions until he soiled himself.[67][83][84] Khadr's lawyers allege that his interrogators "dragged [him] back and forth in a mixture of his urine and pine oil" and did not provide a change of clothes for two days in March 2003.[85] At the end of March 2003, Omar was upgraded to "Level Four" security, and transferred to solitary confinement in a windowless and empty cell for the month of April.
At the time of all this, Khadr was 16.

He was a 16 year old kid.
Unless we suspected he was planning a major attack that was about to go down any information brought under torture is going to be suspect.
And they were pushing him for confession of a murder.
If they got anything valuable or he was a part of anything, it would have been used in the court case to justify torturing him. It never happened.
His violation of rights is pretty indisputable. I think the desire to defend the torture and defend doing it to others is crazy.

It's what people do when they know that they're not intelligent enough to actually debate
Poor guy is just lashing out
- literal garbageThe issue with Omar is that it isn't even clear if he's guilty. Seriously Admiral did you do any research?
He was a kid who was accused of throwing the grenade that killed Spears but the only thing linking that is OC-1's testimony which changed. He said he saw Omar with a grenade, then didn't know if it was Omar, and then couldn't tell if it was Omar with a grenade or a pistol(a pistol making it impossible for him to be the one to throw the grenade that killed Spears). Omar pleaded guilty to it, but he stated that they were going to torture him if he tried to fight the case in 2010. He was tortured in Guantanamo anyway.
The biggest issue with Omar is that he didn't get a fair trial. He wasn't treated as a juvenile but immediately as a war criminal and Guantanamo military commission was extremely biased against him from the get go. Fred Borch, a top military officer resigned for criticisms in the commission:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Borch
Pretty much the tribunals were heavily favored for Omar losing. Omar accepted the guilty verdict believing he would be heavily tortured if he didn't. He was tortured anyway on a crime he may not have committed.shockthemonkey posted...

I wonder what kind of fascist looney you have to be in order to literally demand that verdict you wanted rather than the verdict that was rendered based on the evidence that was presented.
Like, what the flying f***? The man was found innocent by a jury that included black people, and yet you still make up some bulls*** about how he's guilty? That's some insane f***ing mob mentality. You're not the Batman, you don't just get to administer vigilante justice or vigilante verdicts just because the law didn't uphold your narrative about the police.
And seriously, the only reason the left supports what Canada did is because "oh f***, Canada made a decision and Canada is left as f*** the way I am, therefore Canada is right." If there was ANY consistency to be found, you'd expect the people that side with Canada to also side with the cop that got the payout after being found innocent, especially given that the f***ing terrorist is known to be guilty yet still got a payout.
Proudclad supportive of the OJ and Casey Anthony verdicts confirmed. I didn't say I was going to go kill the goddamn cop. And what is your implication in mentioning the races of the jurors? I just think the ruling betrays the evidence. I understand it is what it is. I just hope what it is in society changes one day. Also, you claim to be too smart to think juries rule people innocent.
I also think it is f***ing pathetic that you are turning torture into a partisan issue.

what ?
it feels like they didnt have any evidence so they tortured him until he said he did it to make them stop
thats looks like what it happened during witch hunts
There is no sound, no voice, no cry in all the world that can be heard... until someone listens.Something that's also extremely important to note is the ones who criticized Borch and the officers that took over the GMC were military Jags themselves. They were all O-3 and above and deemed that the GMC didn't offer a fair trial and were designed to be the guise of a trial when in reality they just wanted to lock people up without any due process. That's a big reason why this settlement is being paid because OC-1's testimony changed and we don't really know if Omar threw the grenade and the Tribunals were heavily favored against Omar.marc55 posted...

I'm not so sure about that. If we're going to consider it possible that the military fabricated details of the situation to ensure his captivity, then I don't think it's a stretch that they would keep whatever info they did find. Regardless, they wouldn't necessarily reveal info that could be damaging to other operations, for example. We know they wouldn't because it took Wikileaks and the NSA scandal to uncover questionable aspects of their national security program. But, hey, this is all speculation, right?

All these years later there is no reason to assume that they would need to keep the fact they found "useful intel" a secret. Considering it would be moot information now
Putting that aside they wouldn't even have to state what it was in the first place.
That's one of the few parts of this case that isn't gray. Canadian courts had years to justify his torture and inprisonment and couldn't do it.
