There is no justification for paying 10.5 million dollars to a convicted terrorist. The excuses to justify this make no sense if you examine the facts. Fact no 1. Khadr was we were told a child soldier so therefore not responsible for his actions. If you accept this as a legitimate excuse then his father who took him to Afghanistan to fight should be held responsible since Canada did not send him to Afghanistan. Also Al Qaeda the terrorist group who sent him to fight is also responsible so why haven't Khadr senior and Al Qaeda been sued for their  part in Omar's activities? Fact no. 2 Omar  was caught by the Americans , tried in an American military court and sentenced to an American jail.  Canada had nothing to do with any of this so why do we owe him 10.5 million dollars? Another fact to consider which I will call fact no 3 is that Omar claims that his confession was obtained under duress. If this is true then why didn't he tell his American attorney ?
