Gitmo stay pays off for Canadian jihadi
One of our Canadian friends sends us a link to CBC regarding Omar Khadr, who admitted during his ten-year stay in Guantanamo Boys’ Camp that he was the person, at the age of 15, who threw the grenade that killed American Sergeant Christopher Speer;
After pleading not guilty to five war crimes charges, including murder, in 2010 he changed his plea to guilty later that year and was sentenced to eight years plus the time he had already spent in custody. He returned to Canada two years later to serve the remainder of his sentence and was released in May 2015 pending an appeal of his war crime convictions, arguing that his admissions of guilt were made under duress.
So now he’s out and he has sued the Canadian government for $20 million to compensate him for his maltreatment while he was incarcerated. You know, despite the confession. Well, the government negotiated with him and got the final amount down to ten and a half mil.
The widow of Speer and another U.S. soldier blinded by the grenade in Afghanistan filed a wrongful death and injury lawsuit against Khadr in 2014, fearing Khadr might get his hands on money from his wrongful imprisonment lawsuit.
A U.S. judge granted $134.2 million in damages in 2015, but the plaintiffs acknowledged then that there was little chance they would collect any of the money from Khadr because he lives in Canada
The only evidence about his mistreatment came from Khadr, and, with a large payout in the balance, you just know he has no reason to lie. Not all Canadians are happy about this settlement;
Alberta Progressive Conservative Leader Jason Kenney also denounced the reported deal.
“Odious. Confessed terrorist who assembled and planted the same kind of IEDs that killed 97 Canadians to be given $10 million by Justin Trudeau,” the former federal immigration minister under Stephen Harper tweeted.
From the Globe and Mail;
Stephen Harper’s former campaign manager, Jenni Byrne, also weighed in on Twitter, as did many other Canadians.
“He wasn’t ‘accused’ of war crimes & killing U.S. army medic Christopher Speer – he pleaded guilty,” Ms. Byrne tweeted.
[…]
The Conservative Party’s Foreign Affairs Critic, Peter Kent…said. “The fact that he is living in Canada at liberty should be compensation enough. After all, he is former enemy terrorist combatant.”
Me? I’d keep a close eye on where that money goes. Khadr’s father was killed in a US drone attack on an al Qeada chieftain’s meeting – junior’s terrorism links are deep.

Jesus….stop the world, I want to get off.
FFS
Be a damn shame if that kid was run off the road accidentally and he died in a car fire or something…Karma can be a harsh mistress.
When you’re so fucking stupid that you give people who want you dead millions because they were mistreated the problem isn’t the people who want you dead the problem is in the mirror…
Me? I believe these fuckers who say they want me dead, and I intend to make that hard for them to accomplish…whether I am successful or not the last fucking thing I’m going to worry about is whether or not they feel fucking mistreated along the way…
(sigh) Canada certainly appears to have lost a lot of spine since 1980 and the Canadian Caper – AKA “Argo”.
Canadian dollar is only worth about 70 cents at Walmart today. Just sayin.
As a Proud Canadian with a lot of pride in my country. I’m absolutely disgusted in my government, in my humble opinion this is nothing more then rewarding his behaviour.
He should have been buried under Gitmo or be fish food. My tax dollars going to be paying for this POS. It’s my fervent hope that the rest of Canada wakes up to Obama lite that is currently running this country and ends it quickly.
Khadr is deserving of being shot in the face.
Polar Bears gotta eat, same as worms.
Just saying….
Feeding this asshole to the polar bears could be seen as an act of animal abuse and cruelty.
I’m thinking either concrete shoes or lead floats
We need to bring back the death penalty up here, we are way to afraid of our own shadows. Time for Canada to grow up and develop a fucking back bone and acknowledge that some people just need killing.
Mr Aloha Snackbar needs to watch himself in large dense crowds. Shivs are silent.
This is another “fuck you” to America from our enemies from the North. Time resurrect John Snow and get him on the wall.
There is a majority of us Canadians who very much support and like the US.
this isn’t a representation of all of us.
That is understood. And thanks.
Your welcome. There are times when I feel like I’m the lone voice shouting into the night that things are fucked up and wrong.
What Canada needs is a Regan like figure up here to restore some pride and do the things that need to be done, and not listen to the special interest groups or the SJW’s..fucking special snowflakes are ruining things up here.
This is inexplicable and inexcusable.
Why can the widow not use Canadian courts to pursue the case or satisfy the judgment? There is a mechanism.
I believe the Widow is suing him for the “apology money” so hopefully he’ll be taken to the cleaners.
“… arguing that his admissions of guilt were made under duress.”
You mean enhanced interrogation techniques like water boarding, sleep deprivation, loud continuous (and very annoying!) music, hunger, blows to the face and body, stress positions, mental games and the like? Somehow I doubt he got to do the nekkid calisthenics in the snow, quite entertaining.
Sounds a lot like SERE to me. Where’s our $10M USD, ’cause I’ll bet quite a few of us TAH’ers attended one or more of ’em.
Another Amish Anarchist thumbs his nose at the world, ALLAH PIG SHIT!!!
1. Rope.
2. Tree or Gallows.
3. Terrorist.
Some assembly required.
Why not simplify it, 9mm coated in bacon grease to the back of the head, the bill what’s left of his family for the round?
NOT a bad idea at all!
Make himself rub bacon grease all over his nasty ass and stick a big pile of rancid bacon up his ass.
Then let him ferment in it for a few weeks in the hot Texas Sun while he lives with the hogs and then shoot him with hollow points dipped in bacon grease starting at the toes and work up from there, one shot at a time…
Really want to be ticked off, look up the rest of his fine upstanding Canadian family and their long ties to AQ and other groups and his mothers comments in the news where she hopes her children can all die as martyrs. There is an old Front Line special that calls them the first family of terrorism in Canada.
The widow of the soldier he killed has filled an injunction to stop this whole thing. If he really felt so terrible he would give this money to the child he left without a father. They could have let his dumb ass bleed out but saved him.
The press loves to make him out to be the victim and always forgets he killed someone and knew damn well what he was doing when he pulled the pin on the grenade. The press also loves to forget all his family ties to AQ that date back before 9/11.
I read the Canadian lawers stalled the recognition of the widow’s judgment in Canuckistan so that the money could be paid out and it is now deposited in some Muzzie shithole, most likely Pakistan.
Just one more reason never to leave South Duhkoda ever again.
Gosh where is the A Team when you need them? They would drive the van to Canada, shoot Mini-14s in the air without hitting anything, take all the money from the bad guy and deliver it to the widow and wounded warrior before Hannibal finished a stogie.
There is no one out there left to right wrongs like this these days.
I guess there wasn’t back then either.
