Omar Khadr--A Travesty of Justice

Omar Khadr's guilty plea doesn't prove his guilt; all it proves is that, if you capture a badly-wounded child soldier (shot twice in the back), subject him to cruel treatment in an illegal prison for eight years, bring him before a kangaroo court in which judge and jury belong to, and represent, the organization that is bringing the charges against him, then, that person, faced with a foreordained finding of guilt, and the prospect of a sentence of twenty years or more, may finally give up, and accept a lesser, though still inhumane, sentence. The entire procedure is utterly disgusting.

I'm equally disgusted by the Conservative Government's shameful abandonment of Mr. Khadr to the U.S.'s mockery of a justice system.

I'm not a Muslim; I loathe all religions. I protest the treatment of Mr. Khadr because I loathe injustice more.
