If Khadr had been in his 20's or 30's I would agree that he should stay as a prisoner of war. The difference is he was only a 16 year old kid when nabbed. The U.S. has been using different forms of torture (was even explained that on the news and such)since he was caught. There is also an understanding between Canada and the U.S. regarding prisoner exchanges which Harper has either forgotten about or is just to ignorant to do anything about it. With any luck, these videos and public outcry will force Harper to actually do the right thing.
I use "Jafo" as a nickname (Which stands for "J"ust "A"nother "F"u##ing "O"bserver) because I liked the movie it came from (Blue Thunder) and I use the pseudonym Jock McBile instead of my real name in honour of the names creator, the late John Morgan of the Royal Canadian Air Farce. As Jock would say..."Aw, git stuffed".

All Khadr amounts to is a prisoner of war who will be released when the war is over, just like what happened to prisoners in other canadian wars.
I watched the video and could care less, he was the enemy, got caught as a prisoner.
I'm sure once the war is over Khadr will want to come back to Canada to be with his family wo got him in this mess in the first place.
