First of all, I think we can all admit that we're probably not happy with our Government for handing out sacks of cash in a lawsuit, but this scenario is not nearly as simple as some people seem to want it to be.
I'm not happy about it, but I have a hard time qualifying what I'm least happiest about. Is it the money? The torture? Or the actions of our Government?
I'm not sure. But if theres one thing we all should agree on is that its a complicated issue. Theres a lot of moving pieces going on here.

Plus Khadr vanishing that money wouldn't help his cause at all of proving that he's reformed.
The first question would be . . . so your money is gone, how much did you give to ISIS.

This is again, complicated. While not strictly true its not incorrect either. Theres lots of places to hide your money if you are so inclined.
And despite the fact that Governments may know about it and where it is that doesnt mean that theres anything they can do about it depending on what jurisdiction its in.
