Why should Omar Khadr make amends to Ms. Speer? Her husband volunteered to join and army and invade a foreign country. Presumably he know the risks involved, including the serious risk that comes with invading Afghanistan, a country that is known as "the graveyard of empires" for a reason. Sgt. Speer died in combat, as have millions of soldiers before him. His death is obviously tragic but there's nothing about it that merits any kind of compensation beyond a widow's pension.
