Really, Khadr?
The guy was brainwashed as a child by his lunatic father and dragged to Afghanistan to resist American's invasion. There was some kind of firefight, he nearly died, and the Americans decided that since he survived he was guilty of all the crimes.
He was 15. A kid. A child soldier, by international law.
He was held for a decade in Guantanamo Bay, a US military facility, without any real trial.
The US already had him. They abused his rights and ignored international law. Why should Canada give him back to them?
- ulchar 3y agoNever said that Khadr should've been extradited, he shouldn't have at all and I support the Canadian government decision. But the claims of the Indian government against Nijjar are also dubious which points to the likelihood that any diplomatic transfer was a non-starter. Of course, the difference here was that the USA attempted a diplomatic process and did not execute a citizen on Canadian soil.
- flerovium 3y agoSo India couldn't extradite him. There are many people North Korea would like to punish but can't extradite. You seem to be implying that if India couldn't extradite him, they should kill him.
- dotnet00 3y agoHe already said that he isn't intending that at all and is just pointing out that an extradition probably wouldn't pan out.
