It was both morally and legally right to make a settlement. Laws are based on on the ethics that society believes in. Those that oppose the application of law in this case need to reexamine their reasoning, the facts of the case, and the ethics involved. Opposition to the settlement has been based on a hysterical smear campaign against Omar Khadr. Thankfully, the courts are there to cut through all that and make a judgment purely based on facts and the values that we have as a society enshrined in law.
