CYNIC11: How do you know that Mr. Speer was not a medic? Can you verify this assertion? It's my understanding that embedded medics often wear military uniforms. And, sure, people get killed in such circumstances, but they also get captured and interrogated. As very bad things happen in war, why would anyone expect this shouldn't have applied to Mr. Khadr as much as to anybody else involved in Afghanistan? The Americans saved his life and our government eventually brought him back to Canada. As these things go, where a lot of other combatants, including those fighting for our side, died, Mr. Khadr should have counted his lucky stars well before collecting a dime from the feckless Trudeau government.
