    Boo hoo. They made me do it seems to be the plaintiff cry he uses about everything. Dad, killing the medic and now the US government.

    His excuses are far from palatable and sound more like Charles Manson's than a stalwart a warrior of Allah who was committed to ridding the world of infidels.

    To bad we can't deport the prick and most of the terrorist loving family when he finishes his sentence.

    Who was shooting at Charles Manson?

    "If I wanted the chance to eventually return to my home of Canada, I would have to be found guilty of crimes as determined by the U.S. government, which could then lead to me serving my sentence in Canada."

    The affidavit, filed in Federal Court, comes as part of Khadr's $20-million lawsuit against the federal government for violation of his rights.


    The Harperites in the federal government will be the reason why he's $20,000,000 dollars richer. No angst left for them?

    :roll:

    Nobody was shooting at poor Charlie but then again none of what happened in his life was his fault, it was everyone else's, just like poor Omar.

    BTW he has to win his case before he get's the 20 mil and should he win his claim, the Gov't can keep him in court till he's so old he won't even remember what the term Jihad means. So him getting the money isn't a given is it.

    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?



    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.

    Canadian Charter is only applicable to those in Canada. Outside the confines of Canada, it`s only a nice idea that has no weight.

    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.

    I guess you ask for the sun and the moon, and hope for something between that and nothing.

    Khadr�s lawyers, due in Federal Court later this month, are asking a judge to approve yet another round of amendments to a lawsuit that�s been inching its way through the system for almost as long as he�s been locked away. Originally filed in 2004 as a mere $100,000 claim (and later bumped up to $10 million), Khadr�s latest submission says he now deserves $60 million from the Canadian government: $20 million for breaching his Charter rights, $20 million in punitive damages, and $20 million for failing to treat him like the 15-year-old child soldier he was.

    Toss on another 20M for expenses, what the heck.
