Congress Is After Obama For Releasing Terrorist That Killed US Soldier In 2007, Omar Khadr threw a grenade at a group of US soldiers. He was arrested and sentenced by the military commission to 45 years in Guantanamo Bay. When Obama came into the presidency, he shorted this murderers sentence to 8 years. Many government officials are outraged over this irrational decision. He was just released after serving out his 8 years. There is murderous terrorist walking the streets of America because of Obama. Khadr only ended up serving one year at Guantanamo Bay. Obama transferred him over to Canada for the rest of his sentence. Has Obama completely lost his mind?
