I think you will find zero people who are stoked he's getting money. But, international law was broken and compensation is due. I would hope that if my dad made me do some messed up things beginning at a young age and culminating in my arrest at age 15 that, at the very least, I would be given a proper system of support to help me overcome the completely unacceptable childhood I had been given.
If that had happened with Khadr, if he had been recognized as a child soldier and sent to a rehab camp similar to what child soldiers in Africa get when they are rescued, then he wouldn't be entitled to sue Canada and get this settlement which could have easily been double without a settlement. But that didn't happen. And now we all get to pay for it.
