PLEASE GO TO the linked article. Ever think that the Canadian government must be better than the US??? Think again.///

lindasutton,

Totally agree! The article by Jeff Tietz at trueslant.com is powerful, a strong description of the brutal torture that Omar Khadr (and evidently other detainees) was put through, and it's great to read that the Federal Court of Canada has demanded that the Canadian government, hence the PM, Stephen Harper, demand that Omar Khadr be repatriated or extradited. I don't know if there's much hope with schmuck Harper, and don't know if there'd be much hope with either of his two recent predecessors, Paul Martin and Jean Chretien, but the Canadian government needs to develop a moral and legal spine, and get Omar Khadr out of the hell hole called Guantanamo Bay prison.

I prefer repatriation, because while I'm not a legal expert at all, mostly using common sense, most of the time, this term strikes me as not related to legal processes like trials, while I believing extradition is.

He should be returned to Canada and provided all of the treatment needed to try to recover health of body and mind as much as he can. He should be returned, treated for health needs, provided with plenty of compensation, and never put through any more legal processes than is required to simply return him to Canada and see to him getting the health care he will need. NO f*CKING trials! Not one second should be spent on treating him as if he's possibly a terrorist, etcetera. Freedom and good care is what he needs, deeerves, and should receive. And the compensation, once he's capable of doing attending school, should include all of the years he wants for studies, completing high school and then all the colleges and universities he could ever ask for, for the rest of his life.

After the hell he has been put through and which the Canadian government, the PM's, has been complicit in, nothing should be spared; he should be given everything he needs and justly desires.

The PM's should be made to answer at trials for their criminal, despotic, heinous, ... complicity in this hellish nightmare.

And former VP Cheney should not be able to walk anywhere in the USA; a bull's eye should be pasted on his back and chest, [constitutionally] speaking, of course. The torturers could be treated in the same way.

They all deserve this, but in case it would lead to a concordant reaction that'd be too quick, they could, instead, be tortured the way they all tortured others and for as many years; or more. Not out of question of revenge, but real education. They did this to innocent people and an innocent youth; they are criminals of hell's kind. They deserve treatment that is suitable for their kind. Otherwise, they'll never really [learn] and I'm a believer in real education.

None of them should be able to ever leave the USA without being on the world's Topmost Wanted list and accordingly monitored; awaiting for any and all opportunities to arrest them, etcetera.

A noose would be good, but too quick.
