The Liberals  didn't do this out of the goodness of their hearts.

Fact is Khadr was on course to to sue the GoC and win a much bigger sum.

What CSIS did was a crime against humanity,  a violation of the Geneva Convention and a violation of Khadr's rights as a Canadian citizen. 

Canadian soldiers died defending those rights.

 The Conservatives unwillingness to defend those rights is at the core of this. Had their CSIS agents not capitulated by handing him over to Gitmo none of this would be an issue. 

The term unlawful combatant was twisted by the americans to justify the torture of certain persons they believed were a threat to US interests. IIt does not hold the same meaning elsewhere.


Next up the Foreign Affairs staff who turned a blind eye to to Afghan detainee abuse and those within the Martin and Harper governments who deliberately covered it up.

The truth will out.
