As expected, several persons have indicated that they disagree with my comment.

Fair enough.  However, I would be interested in one or more of them explaining in detail why it was appropriate, even commendable, for

1.  the Chretien and Harper Governments to aid the US Government to submit Khadr to a decade of incarceration without due process, including torture.  (Would this be appropriate if it were another Canadian minor or adult in similar or other circumstances?)

2. the Justice Department to drag out a lost cause (i.e. liability for damages issue) before the courts given that this (a) would be a misuse of the courts and of the Department's duty to the courts and the Canadian people not to abuse the judicial system, and (b) would waste the resources of the justice system and increase the amount ultimatly awarded Khadr.
