Canadian Detainee at Guantanamo Wins Document Access

TORONTO - Canada's government violated the constitution when it gave American officials the results of interviews conducted with a Canadian detainee at the Guantanamo Bay prison, the nation's top court said Friday.

The high court ruled 9-0 that Omar Khadr has a constitutional right to material directly related to interviews that Canadian intelligence officials conducted with him during his detention.

Khadr's attorneys say they'll use the documents to help defend him against a murder charge before a U.S. tribunal.
