A Canadian judge ruled this week that former Gitmo detainee Omar Khadr poses no public safety threat. Tell that to the children of Sergeant First Class Christopher J. Speer and the surviving American soldiers who valiantly fought Khadr on the battlefield.
In 2012, Khadr pleaded guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty and guilty to five charges related to the killing of Speer, a 28-year-old medic with the U.S. Special Forces. This young American hero died in Afghanistan in 2002 during an ambush by al-Qaida operatives.
Just days before he gave his life, Speer had fearlessly walked onto a minefield to rescue two wounded Afghan children. It was Khadr, born and bred an Islamic jihadist by his terrorist father, who lobbed the fatal grenade in the war zone. Another American soldier, SFC Layne Morris, survived the attack, but was blinded in one eye for life.
In a sealed plea deal at Guantanamo Bay, Khadr admitted to throwing the grenade. He admitted to attempted murder, conspiracy, spying and providing material support to terrorism. He signed a 50-paragraph stipulation that classified him as an "enemy belligerent because he has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States and its coalition partners" and documented his family's intimate association and friendship with al-Qaida leaders Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Muhammad Atef.
Don't believe the international human rights bleeding hearts. The Khadr family is rightfully known as Canada's First Family of Terror. This so-called "child soldier" and "good kid" was a full-blown Muslim soldier of jihad; he trained one-on-one in weaponry, explosives and Jew hatred. A then-teenage Khadr bragged to a U.S. official "that the proudest moment of his life was constructing and planting IEDs" to "kill U.S. forces."

"After 13 years in custody, Khadr will be breathing fresh air, walking the streets and maintaining his unrepentant pose of victimhood.
After 13 years, the real victims and the real children in this case the daughter and son of the real hero, SFC Speer, Taryn and Tanner will still be without a father."
WHAT?!?! Ping!

There is justice ultimately. No one gets away with anything in the long term.
Why is this being treated as crime, not war?
That’s what is going to happen when you allow combatants to live . . . especially if they are friendly to our CinC.
I am so ashamed to have been born in that country. I think I will start the process to renounce my Canadian citizenship.
Let’s hope that the judge who set him loose is his only victim.
You think that’s bad? Do a search on his mother and sister. After coming to Canada, all they do is bad mouth Canada and call for its destruction, wanting it to become moslem.
Khadr should be released to live with the judge who ordered his release. The family’s Canadian citizenship should be revoked and the whole clan should be dropped from a RCAF C-17 Globemaster over Afghanistan, parachutes optional.
This was just over Two Years Ago!
I am incredulous!
This country needs a small army of black ops former military who go after and take care of these cockroaches. Hey, they would make a great screenplay.

You were reading my mind. This is way overdue.
Hey, they would make a great screenplay.
Deathwish IV, and on to Infinity.
Sub contract it to Mossad. They do such work very well.
I’ve heard rumors that a group within CANSOFCOM has acted to resolve certain ‘issues’ on both foreign and Canadian soil.
A judge ordered Khadr released on bail, while he appeals his sentence. She was of the Alberta Queens Bench. The government then took that verdict to another court and appealed the decision. The second judge, also being a women, threw out the government appeal.
Prime Minister Harper appeared on television. He decried the decision. He repeated that Khadr committed murder and other offences. He gave his condolences to the family of the American medic who was killed by Khadr.
Friends, it was the Black Robes who did this. Same as they have done in the United States against the public will.
