There's no need for that.
This IS the judicial process. The government's lawyers negotiated a settlement with Khadr's lawyers. Civil Justice in action. Continuing to fight a losing civil suit because of political motivation would not be the civil justice system in action, it would be ideological litigation at the cost of taxpayer money and tying up the court system as well as the government's own lawyers.
You're suggesting that in this instance the government's lawyers are either incompetent or have questionable ethics to settle a suit that in the best interest of the government of Canada.
