Its an absolute atrocity. Had we killed him, the Khadr family would have received approximately 0 dollars and 0 cents.

the last thing in the world that the WSJ or Fox should be doing is wagging their finger at other countries based on "higher moral ground"
You know what the real joke is?
the the US has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians and that the total "condolence payments" made to these victims will still be less that THE SINGLE JUDGEMENT awarded to Speer's widow.
That's what is really GD outrageous.

As of July 13, more than 2,200 additional civilians appear to have been killed by Coalition raids since Trump was inaugurated—upwards of 360 per month, or 12 or more civilians killed for every single day of his administration.

That's right 2300
civilians and all we hear about is how Speer's wife isn't getting fair compensation.

Care to guess how much money an Afghan civilian life is worth? About 3000 US dollars

The US should stop lecturing other countries on how to run their internal affairs when they have zero moral high ground to stand upon
And yes, that includes Obama, as he had the chance to rectify that pittance but he didn't.
