Wrong. A Canadian Consular official, instead of helping a child-soldier be liberated and repatriated, took a political position to pretend to help Khadr while secretly helping the American officials to entrap him.   Khadr's parents were responsible for taking him to Afghanistan and having him help fight the Americans, but they were not government officials going against what their job is supposed to be. Harper did everything he could to help the Americans against one of his own citizens. The behavior of Canadian officials was illegal (according to the treaties Canada signed concerning child-soldiers) and unconscionable.   Forget who might have done what in a fire-fight in Afghanistan - and concentrate on LAW.  Canadian officials broke the law; Khadr spent years in prison, and underwent torture and blackmail -and got stiffed by the Canadian officials who should have been trying to help him. THAT is why he is being given restitution; the rest is simply a smokescreen for ideological bunk.
