Would have been one of the most important trials in Canadian history. The evidence that would come out would probably also very embarrassing for the government, but so be it. This needed to finished publicly not via a confidential closed door negotiation where the facts are hidden.
Consider how this looks to the soldiers of Canada. They die/get maimed and at most they get a meager pension or an honourable funeral. Think how this looks to the bad guys -- their combatant is now rich beyond his wildest dreams.

To me the biggest problem is the secretive nature of the whole thing. If it wasn't for a leak that the Liberals had to get ahead of, would we have learned about this. Plus it seems slimy that the Canadian Government strategy was to hide this from the lawsuit in the States.
That's where my problem is.
the question of can he transfer the money anywhere? Sure, but I'm sure that those funds are going to be watched by CSIS to see if they are transferred anywhere that they shouldn't be going.
But I doubt Khadr is going to do that, I'm taking his anti-radical statements on face value.
