From the moment Canadian officials had access to Khadr and discovered he was being tortured, they - and our government - had a Charter obligation to fight for the protection of his rights. Instead, they became complicit in his torture and used it to their own advantage. There is not a single appeal to emotion based argument you can make that overcomes this. Canadian officials violated his Charter rights and three successive governments failed in their duty. That is why the Canadian tax payers have to pay.
