Khadr was captured when he was 15 and faces charges life in prison on of murder, conspiracy, spying and supporting terrorism counts. He is charged with tossing a grenade that killed one U.S. soldier and injured another in Afghanistan in 2002.
His trial would be the first full legal airing of the Guantanamo detainees, who include several "high-value" prisoners, such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 2001 terror attacks on the United States.
Other western countries have insisted their citizens be brought home from Guantanamo to face justice but Ottawa has refused to intervene on Khadr's behalf.
Of course, the leftist/Dhimmi Opposition in Canada has been demanding that Khadr be released and allowed into Canada. Funny, though, how they didn't really make too much noise when Saudi Arabia held and tortured William Sampson on death row on bogus charges. And I wonder if Liberal Party "leader" Stephane Dion will still think it wise to demand Khadr's release and extradition in light of the fact that the charges have been reinstated. No matter- he has already demonstrated his poor judgement by standing up for an Al Qaeda member.
