You really want to give that son of a bitch some rights? maybe have him live next door to you? Even though he killed a Canadian Soldier? All because hes a Canadian Citizen? Fuck that, let him rot in there. Let them all rot in there.

I'm not defending him. I'm defending our laws that say even scum bags are protected by the same rights you and I are.

I am all for protecting all of our rights and freedoms as Canadians.

The rule of law is only as good as our capacity and willingness to enforce it.

If we pick and choose what rights and laws apply to what Canadians then we have lost.

Then how does Canadian law apply when the act is perpetrated on foreign soil?

These are only applicable if the accused is in Canadian custody, otherwise they mean jack shit, even if there is an extradition treaty.

Canadians have no authority to do anything, someone cites the geneva convention laws in one of the 30 threads on here. He was not a uniformed soldier, he was involved in terrorist activities on foreign soil. Whoever the attack was carried out against has the right to try them-Americans. I completely disagree with there usage of torture on the guy, and he should have stood trial in the united states, but canada cant, wont, and should not do a fuckin thing. He and his family got themselves into this mess. They didn't even live in canada for too long, they gave birth and moved to pakistan. perfect example of why birth-right citizenship ain't so great.

[ShepherdsDog]

Exactly. I said it before and I'll say it again. He should be afforded a trial, according to the laws of the United States. All the moronic blathering about his 'Canadian' rights being violated demonstrates how little these mouth-breathers grasp the situation, or how the world operates. Canadians have Canadian rights only in Canada.

Our government has a right to request that he be transferred into their custody, but those in possession of the person in question, have every right to say,'go fuck yourself!'

i can see why there is such a strong opposition to extraditing him back to Canada, but the reality is Guantanamo Bay displays various interrogation techniques that are deemed inhumane and bordering on torcher (to which Canada and other members of the UN have spoken strongly against), to keep Khadr there would expose hipocrisy and compromise the integrity of the administration of justice as well as send a negative message to western civilizations. Khadr should be tried in Canada, with a punishment focusing on the rehabilitation of the child soldier who has been poisoned by his society and culture

All I am saying is that the interrogation tactics used in Guantanamo Bay are extreme and inhumane. He should be given a proper trial, if it is decided that he deserves a sentence of life imprisonment then that is what he must serve. The point is whatever procedures are taken, they need to be in accordance with the foundations to which the justice system was based on.
