        Giving up human rights is scarier to me than terror attacks. In fact taking human rights away is a terror attack perpetrated by government.

        I like her. Canada just paid 10.5 mil to Khadr because 'he was 16' when he killed American medic soldier. Charter of Rights failed us.

        1) No, in 2010 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Cdn intelligence officials obtained evidence from Khadr under oppressive circumstances

        2) Therefore Khadr was suing the Cdn government. The settlement was far less than what the government would have spent losing the lawsuit.

        "Don't mistreat POWs, no matter how much you hate what they fought for" is indeed a principle worth upholding.

        Those laws and others like it are not about what *they* might or might not have done. It's what *you* do, and who *you* are.

        Agreed. Chrétien and Trudeau blew it. Canadians paid for it. ...but I'd fight it because it wouldn't have changed the fact Khadr was guilty

        He may well be guilty. Unfortunately there isn't enough evidence to say so with any degree of certainty.
