Let me get this straight..
Your plan is for us to deny his constitutional rights, in a case about how much we owe him for denying his constitutional rights?

$1:
The Supreme Court of Canada released its decision today in the Omar Khadr case, confirming that the constitutional rights of the young man from Toronto, protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, have been violated. The highest court in the country has not however forced the repatriation of Omar Khadr to Canada, contrary to what had been ruled by the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal a few months earlier. The judges have indeed said the government must “decide how best to respond to this judgment” because the information available to the Court was “necessarily incomplete”.
...
the Court concluded that Canada had “actively participated in a process contrary to its international human rights obligations [...] so as to deprive him of his right to liberty and security of the person guaranteed by s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, contrary to the principles of fundamental justice.” The Court condemns the Canadian officials for having extracted information of high importance from a teenager while he was unable to consult a lawyer and knowing that he had suffered and continued to suffer of mistreatments.
So his rights were violated? How does that equate to 20 million dollars worth of compensation.
If a person gets incorrectly arrested for being drunk his constitutional rights have been violated, is he entitled to 20 million. If I'm not chosen for a job because of my age, race, religion. My constitutional rights have been violated am I entitled to 20 million.
You can ask for anything when you've supposedly been wronged but getting it is another totally different proposition. There' a very good chance that Canada's favorite terrorist won't get a reward of 20 million dollars for killing a medic despite what you say and as far as I'm concerned he abrogated his constitutional rights when he chose to take up arms against our allies.
