Let's say that Khadr was in a car accident today. He was injured, and it was the other car's fault. He sues the other driver and settles on a $50,000 settlement.

Should Khadr be denied this settlement because he was a terrorist and committed terrorist acts against western soldiers?

The point being, the fact his rights were violated and he was tortured is a separate issue to the alleged grenade throwing that killed SFC Speer.
