That being said, there's no way Khadr gets a fair trial, so I suppose I see why he's going to plead guilty. |
Up for debate? He says he is guilty. Is this the same kind of debate the truthers participate in? You are irritated because they call someone a medic? The guy died working as a medic in the military, to save lives. Maybe you should be irritated by that.
You sympathize with the Khadrs? What is your take? I think that since he is guilty, the Americans can keep him. Unfortunately, we are going to have to foot the bill for him, as we already do for his family.
