Canada is saying that they are very, very sorry to Omar Khadr. They’re so sorry in fact, they’re giving him more than $10 million.
See, Khadr – who was picked up by American forces in Afghanistan, suspected of being a terrorist and shipped off to Guantanamo Bay – was interrogated under “oppressive circumstances” by Canadian intelligence officials.
Khadr – who is Canadian born – was only 15 years old when he was captured in a firefight at an al-Qaeda compound in Afghanistan. The firefight resulted in the death of special forces medic U.S. Army Sgt. Christopher Speer. Khadr was suspected of throwing the grenade that killed Speer. He was taken to Gitmo and charged with war crimes by the military commission.
In 2010, he pleaded guilty to charges – including murder – and was sentenced to eight years, plus time served.
Two years later, he returned to his native Canada to serve the remainder of his term and was released in May 2015. The total time he spent in Gitmo was ten years.

as a Freeper said....the widow should SUE the former GITMO detainee for at LEAST 10 MILLION DOLLARS!!
Of course he was 15 years old and he couldn’t get the death penalty.
But he wasn’t innocent and Canada just awarded an Islamic terrorist an apology he didn’t deserve and a boatload of money.
This is a slap across our face on our national birthday!
“...interrogated under “oppressive circumstances” by Canadian intelligence officials.”
What, did they interrupt his program instead of waiting until the commercial? Sadists!
Canada is a joke. They’re headed toward the same socialist oblivion as the EU.
From now on, any little bastard caught over there from the UK, Canada, USA, etc, should be taken out back and a bullet put in their heads.
“Omar” should have died in Afghanistan. Regardless of his age at the time, if he picked up a weapon of war, in a war zone, and fought in battle, he should have been killed on the spot.
This is solely the fault of that POS obama and his insane ROE that turned OUR American troops into target practice for a bunch of goat-f@<%/^& jihadis.
So canuck land wants to bend over and reward this little jihadi muslim MF’er.
Keep that in mind canada when we seal up our northern border, and NAFTA is a long gone pipe dream.
I highly doubt that little pipsqueak Trudeau will bother with mending fences, but instead will run staight into the EU socialists open arms.
Trudeau is as bad as bammy. Both traitors.
One of the many problems with socialism is their inability to distinguish between right and wrong.
Canada.
We’re going to need another wall.
