This guy just got paid out like 649 from our government. Thoughts?

Child soldier? Gitmo? Canadian? Charter rights?

I just feel as a country, we all too often get taken advantage of for our values and kindness. While some of the country is patting themselves on their backs for holding true to the values of the charter, others see us as the spineless sucker of the world.

He claims innocence and held in prison for 10 years without a trial.
According to one of the articles, the only reason he admitted his war crime is to get out of Guntamabe (spell)

If that's true, he went through hell for no reason.
If not,FU terrorist !

yea, at face value its fairly shitty, but iirc, its a huge massive grey area and at the time the Canadian government didn't really push that hard with the US government to get him out to at least get him into a proper trial.

at the end of the day though, i think the wife/family of the soldier is sueing him anyways, so hopefully in the end she gets the cash.

terrorist or not, they kept him without trial and tortured him for 10 years.

you can't skip due process. if you kept me prisoner for 10 years and tortured me, i'd want a payout too

yup, pretty much this. As much as I personally hate it, and would love to change the rules, but going by what "should" have happened, this is on par. Especially given how the lawyer was trying to get 20mil.

Seems so Canadian that we pay him out for the torture he received at the hands of another country.

Ya, I get that we should've brought him back asap, but I'm not sure the Americans would've been willing to ship him off without taking a run at him.

From the stats I've read, something like 70% of Canadian don't agree with this decision to pay him, so while legally it seems like the right thing to do, it's turning everyone's stomach.
