From Murderous Jihad Warrior to Sobbing Crybaby

Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 9:30:18 am PDT

Here’s the video of Omar Khadr, the Islamic terrorist captured on a battlefield in Afghanistan after throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier, sobbing and weeping and feeling sorry for himself.

The left is going insane over this videotape, of course, and ignoring that this young man is a murderer, caught while fighting on the side of Al Qaeda.

It makes them feel bad to see him cry.

Maybe it'd make them feel better to see him die. he's too young to know anything of value. He shouldn't have been taken prisoner.

19 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:36:30am

I can't see the video, was anyone doing anything horrible to him to make him cry, like placing panties on his head, or eating his peanut butter sandwich, or is he just a wus?

20 Alouette  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:36:40am

He's not getting good medical attention? Well, he should have thought of that before he murdered a medic!

21 lawhawk  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:36:45am

Cry for the US soldier he killed, not for this SOB. He's lucky he's being detained by the US, where they actually provide 3 hots and a cot.

His jihadi friends aren't so nice to the people they capture.

22 Killgore Trout  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:36:52am

There's also a video of him planting landmines....
Omar Khadr

The video shows Khadr toying with detonating cord as other men including Abu Laith al-Libi assemble explosives in the same house as had just been destroyed, identifiable by its walls, rugs and the environment seen out the windows in the video,[20][28] and planting landmines while smiling and joking with the cameraman.[13][33][45] It has been suggested that these were the same landmines later recovered by American forces on a road between Gardez and Khowst.[28]

28 BlueCanuck  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:38:01am

Can you guys keep him there please? I sure as hell don't want him back in my country. We already have to put up with the rest of his family.

re: #10 Sharmuta

Perhaps not brave, but certainly effective. The resources it takes to maintain him in captivity, provide his legal counsel, and deal with the P.R. sh*tstorm he has ignited would be more effectively used elsewhere - like in hunting and killing his cohorts, and he no doubt knows that.

Unlike leftists these jihadis actually know how to fight a war.

34 quickjustice  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:39:58am

Too bad they merely captured him. Obviously, we should change the rules of engagement in future combat with enemy combatants/terrorists who ignore the laws of war to "take no prisoners".

Khadr's mother, Maha Elsamnah, emotional after watching her son's interrogation, expressed a deep sense of loss for her family and uncertainty over what she should do.

Her husband, Ahmed Said Khadr, was an avowed al-Qaeda sympathizer before he was killed in fighting with Pakistani military forces in 2003. Elsamnah refused to say more without speaking to her lawyer.

But retired soldier Sgt. Layne Morris, who was in the firefight in which U.S. medic Sgt. First Class Christopher J. Speer was killed by a grenade, allegedly by Khadr, said he has no sympathy for the Guantanamo detainee.

"Whoever has sympathy for a young snivelling, whining, crying Omar is misplaced sympathy because this is not a man who deserves any sympathy," he told CBCNews.ca.

"I use all my sympathy for Chris Speer's widow and two children. I have none left for Omar Khadr."


Looks like it runs in the family...now cry me a river, Omar.

He's doing exactly what al Qaeda trained him to do; to make bogus claims of torture and mistreatment at the hands of Americans to help split off our

53 opnion  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:45:37am

I must be down a couple of quarts of sympathy.
I feel nothing but contempt for this murderous, Islamic, punk.
The army medic that he killed left behind a wife & two small children.
That is where my sympathy is.
The irony is that the medic he killed would have tended this punks wounds

54 itellu3times  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:45:48am

OK, he's scared and sorry. Doesn't change the fact that he should be executed. He wants forgiveness, somebody tell him about Jesus.

55 lawhawk  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 9:45:49am

Don't cry for me, al Qaeda.

Old enough to fight in a war, old enough to be held according to international law. No special treatment. Get on with his trial. Fortunately our Prime Minister appears in no way ready to capitulate on this. This entire family is a cancer on the world and on Canada in particular. I certainly hope every member of his family is under permanent surveillance. They should never know even a moment of peace in this country.

I have no sympathy for this Islamofascist terrorist. He comes from a terrorist family and he should have thought about ending up in jail before going to Jihad in Afghanistan. I am glad that PM Harper gov't is not taking this terrorist in and I am glad this terror kid is facing justice in the US jail. Keep him there please and ship the rest of his family to Gitmo as well

And you will notice that the little sh*t attacked and killed a non-combatant medic. A "soft" target the loss of which has a multiplier effect on the effectiveness of his enemy. Favorite trick of the Japanese in a war fought long ago.

I just want to know why this waste of carbon poster boy for prohpylactics is still alive and why the rest of his douchebag family haven't been deported from Canada. The allies executed teenage members of the "Werewolf" German resistance movement which was formed at the end of the World War II. If I remember correctly some of the ones who were tried and executed were younger than this slimebag. The video of him planting landmines made him a posterboy for would be jihadists.. why not make him a posterboy for death to jihadists? They seem to have no problem doing the same to innocent civilians and captured soldiers.
Funny how nobody mentions the special forces medic he killed and the troops who he wounded. I think he ought to be given 5 minutes behind closed doors with them.Then, he would, no doubt have something to cry about.

The Left is crying "TORTURE!" over this video, but please note:

1. He's being interviewed by Canadians, not Americans.
2. No one lays a single finger on him.
3. No one even speaks to him harshly.
4. Criminals often cry when they get put in the interview room. If you've ever seen the show First 48, an ongoing documentary about Homicide squads in various cities, in nearly every single instance, they get the cold-blooded murderer into the interview room, and he'll start bawling, "I want to talk to my momma!" This, after he murdered six people or whatever. Crying while in custody proves nothing.

Elvis Costello: Beyond Belief

History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues

I'm just a oily slick
In a windup world with a nervous tick
In a very fashionable hovel
I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel

I loved that song.

This Guantanamo "interrogation" video is really one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. The combination of high school acting and the CSIS officer recommending a bite to eat "before your hamburger gets cold" rather deflates hopes of glamorous inhumanity on tabloid display.

What exactly is the complaint against the CSIS? No couch in the room? No encouragement to "tell me what it felt like when your mother talked to you like that"?

Crying while in custody proves nothing.


Well, it proves that the cryer is upset.

It certainly doesn't prove "torture" (in any way).

Again, it would have been within the rights of capturing soldiers to have literally executed him on the spot as a non-uniformed combatant. Instead they took him alive, and gave him "three hots and a cot".

As usual, no good deed goes unpunished.

This problem will end quicker if we start fighting like we used to. They don't see us as 'better' they see as weak because we're not speaking the same language.

He isn't a child. He is a cold-blooded murderer - he knew exactly what he was doing and did it just as he was trained to do.That the Special Forces Medic was on his way to help Afghan CHILDREN didn't matter to him; his being a "child" (which is something I find more than a little dubious) may very well have not only resulted in a US Medic being killed, but the death of those two Afghan children, who were not "playing" war.

I hope your wrong, no mother could ever be proud of that. No one would ever call him friend again. He was not acting he was a bully and a coward. Happy to kill an unarmed man or set a mine. Not a solider but a child playing at war. Take him up some place high and drop him. repeatedly if needed.

As a sidenote, I will state that I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of the Canadian justice system doing anything meaningful, but I still think my government should play by the rules it made.

So what? Being under 18 doesn't give you a pass for killing American soldiers.

The Geneva convention (which doesn't really apply here, but is constantly being invoked by the leftists that whine about Guantanamo anyway) explicitly recognizes soldiers above the age of 15 years. So does international human rights law.

So I don't see how he merits special treatment. He wasn't compelled to fight; he volunteered.

Apparently this kid was 15 when he killed a US soldier, as far as I can tell, he merits the same treatment as any other combatant. (Which I repeat for the third time, doesn't exclude summary execution for being a non-uniformed combatant).

He doesn't like being behind bars, boo-f@#$ing-hoo.

There was an active war being waged, and if I recall, Canada signed on to participate under NATO in the operation.

I don't know how much you have read into the whole issue at large, but he was totally aware of what he was doing, there is no dispute in that.

Whether or not he was the one to throw the grenade, he was complicit. Serving in the role of an enemy, with the enemy. Under their direction, and guidance.

He was apprehended properly, is being contained properly, and even if he is a citizen, falls under the rules of engagement.

We don't beat them, or move them from cell to cell every three hours, or terrify them with threats of pedophilic rape, or deny them appropriate medical care -- all punishments that Khadr has endured -- a litany of abuse so traumatic that, according to one piteous detail among many, he took to falling asleep at Guantanamo desperately hugging a Mickey Mouse book brought to him as a gift.

Not exactly unbiased and it's the same moonbat meme of "let's get those innocents out of the evil clutches of the Bloodthirsty Bushitler minions" that we have seen over and over again.

Do I think he should come back to Canada and be free? Not a chance. But he should be dealt with here.

As a sidenote, I will state that I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of the Canadian justice system doing anything meaningful, but I still think my government should play by the rules it made.

There are people that young in prisons in America. But, this is not some gang-banger who shot a toddler in a drive-by. This is a terrorist who trained for this, who traveled great distance to where he committed his crime.

"Got thrown"?
So this kid was "accidentally" standing on a battlefield where grenades and gunshots were going off, minding his own business, when someone (anyone other than him, but standing next to him) threw a grenade that killed a US soldier?

Maybe "someone" didn't see him actually toss that grenade, but that same "someone" (who happens to be a uniformed US soldier) would have been well within his rights to put a bullet in this kids head right there and then.

I'm not saying he didn't do it.


No, you're just making excuses.


I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished.


He is being "punished". Can't you see he wants his mommy?

If an enemy raises his hands, has no visible weapons on him or near enough for him to grab, then "leaving him dead on the battlefield" would mean that an American soldier would have to kill an unarmed man. Murder that unarmed man. I do NOT want our troop's only option to be to cold-bloodedly murder someone who is clearly surrendering.
Killing someone in the heat of combat turns out - most often later on - to be stressful enough; asking our soldiers to be judge, jury and executioner of unarmed men who are surrendering is asking too much of our troops.
Not to mention the unpleasant fact that if the word goes around that our troops will KILL any enemy soldier they see, whether or not they are trying to surrender, will inevitably increase the number of enemy troops who will keep trying to kill our troops rather than be killed as they try to surrender.

215 Sounder  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 10:31:52am

A little history on the Kadr family.

Papa Khadr was a senior member of al-Qaeda who took his family to Afghanistan where they hung out with Osama Bin Laden. During the 1990’s, he was arrested for his part in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan, but he was kindly sprung from jail through the intervention of Jean Chretien.

Mommy and Daddy al-Qaeda raised their children to be good little martyrs. The eldest daughter’s wedding was attended by Bin Laden – and she’s reportedly under investigation by the RCMP. Two of the sons – Abdul and Omar – ended in Guantanamo Bay after being captured while fighting on behalf of the terrorists. Abdul flipped and managed to get out of Gitmo by working for the CIA. Omar, who killed an American in combat, is about to be tried for murder. Another son is in jail in Canada, awaiting extradition to the United States.

Eventually, Daddy Khadr was killed while fighting alongside al-Qaeda forces. In the same battle Abdulkareem, the youngest son, was seriously wounded. It was at this point – with her son in need of extensive (and expensive!) medical care that Mommy Khadr discovered her secret affection for Tim Horton’s and the National Hockey League and began to first demand her and her children’s “rights” as “Canadians.”

So, to summarize: the elder Khadr came to Canada in the mid-1970’s and then returned to the Islamic world in the early 1980’s – thereafter returning to Canada only sporadically (most notably for a year of free health treatment when he was wounded by a land mine). Since then he – and his progeny – have devoted themselves to waging war against the West. But, somehow, we are supposed to simply accept that these people – citizens of convenience who have waged war against our nation and civilization – are legitimate “Canadians” and to grin and bear it while they, being natural parasites with no respect for our nation, suck tax dollars out of our system to pay for the surely expensive medical treatment for someone wounded while standing alongside our enemies.

Not only this – after all, this outrage has been allowed to pass practically unnoticed – but now we are supposed to have sympathy for (as the media and the left obviously does) an al-Qaeda solider who, while fighting as an unlawful combatant, treacherously wounded one Allied solider and killed another. Indeed, we are not only supposed to have sympathy – we are actually supposed to devote time and resources (read: my and your money) into freeing him from a fate which is far less than what he has earned. (Once again, I would emphasize the stupidity of, in dealing with terrorists, not simply following the traditional procedure established for dealing with pirates, bandits, spies, and other unlawful combatants captured in combat).

OK then by the UCMJ you saw this person toss a grenade at your forces, that makes him a combatant and therefore a legitimate target. Next question?

Are you sure you saw him toss the grenade? How far away were you standing? Were there others near him? Could it have been one of them and not him. Do you wear glasses? Did you have dirt in your eyes? Did you take cover? How can you be sure it was him? Hell, and I'm not even a lawyer and I can make up asshole lawyer questions.

Drug-dealing gangs frequently recruit and use very young kids to do their dirty work, knowing that, even if caught, the kids will do a lot less time than an adult would if caught doing the same crime. Need someone to pick up the drugs? Send a 13-year-old. Need someone to act as a lookout? An eight-year-old on a bike will do. Need someone to kill an rival drug dealer in a turf war? Hand the gun to the 15-year-old, let him do the deed.

This happens all the time in every big city in America. The Bad Guys prey on our societal lenience toward children who commit crimes. They use our humanity against us.

And now the same thing is happening on an international scale, in a civilizational war.

Do you think these 15-year-olds dreamt up this jihad by themselves? Did they hook up with the arms smugglers? Did they study the Koran? No. It is adults who are behind all the terrorism. And in many cases, such as this one, they have started to do what the drug dealers do: They recruit underage kids to do their dirty work. (Hamas has done this as well in Gaza.) Layer upon layer of evil.

If we allow them to use our humane laws and our sense of justice against us, then the jihadis can bring down Western civilization by simply creating an entire army of child soldiers. The liberals will cry and say, "Don't hurt the poor babies!", while the kids march forward incessantly, killing as they go. And, thanks to our humanity, we will feel morally stained if we fight back against these brainwashed kids.

It is a terrible tragedy, admittedly, but the terrorists give us no choice: cease to exist as a civilization, or violate our conscience by doing combat against children.

Which do you choose?

In general taking prisoners is good policy (if practicable).

Note that when I said that US soldiers legally could have killed this kid on the battlefield, I don't mean they *should* have done that. I'm only saying this to point out how benign his actual treatment is, compared to the what he is legally entitled to by being a non-uniformed combatant (which is just about zip).

Whether or not they "should" have bothered to take him prisoner depends on the exact circumstances, which I am not privy to. . .but I'd assume that the soldiers in question did the right thing by not killing him.

Despite the Geneva convention, the US *has* extended significant protection to non-uniformed combatants, including this kid. Whether or not we should do that is a whole other argument.

So, to summarize: the elder Khadr came to Canada in the mid-1970’s and then returned to the Islamic world in the early 1980’s – thereafter returning to Canada only sporadically (most notably for a year of free health treatment when he was wounded by a land mine). Since then he – and his progeny – have devoted themselves to waging war against the West. But, somehow, we are supposed to simply accept that these people – citizens of convenience who have waged war against our nation and civilization – are legitimate “Canadians” and to grin and bear it while they, being natural parasites with no respect for our nation, suck tax dollars out of our system to pay for the surely expensive medical treatment for someone wounded while standing alongside our enemies.

Bingo. They fight the West, and when they get injured they return here to game our medical systems and get patched up so they can go back out and keep trying to overthrow us. Same thing happens in Britain, although - even better - the doctors themselves are often terrorists too.

Worse than that, your taxdollars provided Khadr's US military lawyer, Navy Lt. Cmdr., William Kuebler, who says the video shows "a frightened boy".

However, a US military lawyer is performing a task to which they have been ordered. The fault for their participation is way above their pay grade (like one of our three branches of government, the one I don't remember voting for. OTOH, the civilian lawyers, apparently many from top firms, are lining up to represent these murdering SOB's.

If a US infantry patrol walked past what Army Intelligence referred to as a "friendly village" and recieved machine gun fire from that village, and US soliders were killed or wounded by that machine gun fire, we were OBLIGATED under OUR ROE's to call higher authority on the radio to get permission to fire BACK at them.
In Vietnam, more often than not, the "civilian" was the enemy. And there was no such thing as a "front line". The war was everywhere.

Lethality knows no age.

I kid with a grenade will kill you just as dead as an adult.

There are numerous cases in LE of officers shooting a kid with a gun, even when a gun turns out after the fact to be a toy the shooting is invariably ruled justified.

On the battlefield in contact with the enemy a person with a grenade in hand is a COMBATANT!

The "Child Soldier" applies not in active combat when they are shooting at you. It applies after hostilities, and the child is shown to have been kidnapped and forced to act upon threat of death.

"Child Soldier" does not apply in this case.

Speer left behind a wife and two children, ages 3 and 11 months. Just days before his murder, Speer had selflessly walked into a minefield to rescue two wounded Afghan children.

re: #214 madisonsfriend

Unfortunately here in the DC area(and I suppose lots of other places) kids 15 and younger commit major crimes all the time. Not necessarily murder although that happens.


Homicide by 15 year olds (and a lot younger) is certainly not unheard of.

There is a rightful legal distinction between what goes on during a time of war with uniformed soldiers and combatants, and what happens in the civilian world. The standards are different, and they *should be*.

So how DC or Canada might treat a 15 year old murderer is really only tangentially relevant to how a non-uniformed 15 year old soldier with grenades is treated on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

Needless to say, DC law doesn't apply in Afghanistan.

The fact that the kid holds Canadian citizenship doesn't make Canadian law apply either. That should be obvious, though apparently it isn't.

The other advantage to classifying them as POW, it will prevent Congress and SCOTUS from mucking around with their status.

The downside is recognizing them as POW is giving them legal combat status, which I don't like.

re: #171 looking closely

So what? Being under 18 doesn't give you a pass for killing American soldiers.

The Geneva convention (which doesn't really apply here, but is constantly being invoked by the leftists that whine about Guantanamo anyway) explicitly recognizes soldiers above the age of 15 years. So does international human rights law.

So I don't see how he merits special treatment. He wasn't compelled to fight; he volunteered.

The Geneva Conventions of War does apply here, as the US is a signatory (even if Al Qaeda & the Taliban were not). It defines the categories of people found on a battlefield:


1. Unarmed civilians
2. Regular combatants: must be uniformed with a recognized chain of command)
3. Irregular combatants: local citizen militias, signified by a distinctive mark or insignia such as an armband or neck scarf.
4. Illegal combatants: armed, in civilian clothing, not of the local population, no recognized insignia or chain of command.

The Taliban qualify for #3, and as such the US have held all captured Afghan Taliban in POW style detention in Afghanistan. Non-Afghanis, such as Khadr, who were fighting not in uniform, are in category 4. The Geneva Conventions provide only the protection they should be treated humanely. Meaning, he can be executed, but not tortured. There is no evidence Khadr was tortured. Interrogation is not torture. Rudeness is not torture. Not helping him is not torture.

just saying it would be wrong for a US soldier to shoot an unarmed person.


To be clear, it would be wrong (and I believe illegal) for a US soldier to deliberately kill a person he knew to be unarmed.

I believe its also illegal to kill combatants who are legitimately surrendering.

But in practice, battlefields can be highly chaotic, and under fire its not always easy to make the distinction between who is armed and who is unarmed. As one example, we all know about "friendly fire" incidents.

350 Darwin Akbar  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 11:08:41am

Don't forget what Mark Steyn wrote about the First Family of Canadian Terrorism 'way back in Janury 2006:

"For example, one day in 2004, a couple of Canadians returned home, to Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto. They were the son and widow of a fellow called Ahmed Said Khadr, who back on the Pakistani-Afghan frontier was known as "al-Kanadi." Why? Because he was the highest-ranking Canadian in al Qaeda--plenty of other Canucks in al Qaeda, but he was the Numero Uno. In fact, one could argue that the Khadr family is Canada's principal contribution to the war on terror. Granted they're on the wrong side (if you'll forgive my being judgmental) but no one can argue that they aren't in the thick of things. One of Mr. Khadr's sons was captured in Afghanistan after killing a U.S. Special Forces medic. Another was captured and held at Guantanamo. A third blew himself up while killing a Canadian soldier in Kabul. Pa Khadr himself died in an al Qaeda shootout with Pakistani forces in early 2004. And they say we Canadians aren't doing our bit in this war!
In the course of the fatal shootout of al-Kanadi, his youngest son was paralyzed. And, not unreasonably, Junior didn't fancy a prison hospital in Peshawar. So Mrs. Khadr and her boy returned to Toronto so he could enjoy the benefits of Ontario government health care. "I'm Canadian, and I'm not begging for my rights," declared the widow Khadr. "I'm demanding my rights."

As they always say, treason's hard to prove in court, but given the circumstances of Mr. Khadr's death it seems clear that not only was he providing "aid and comfort to the Queen's enemies" but that he was, in fact, the Queen's enemy. The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, the Royal 22nd Regiment and other Canucks have been participating in Afghanistan, on one side of the conflict, and the Khadr family had been over there participating on the other side. Nonetheless, the prime minister of Canada thought Boy Khadr's claims on the public health system was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate his own deep personal commitment to "diversity." Asked about the Khadrs' return to Toronto, he said, "I believe that once you are a Canadian citizen, you have the right to your own views and to disagree."

That's the wonderful thing about multiculturalism: You can choose which side of the war you want to fight on. When the draft card arrives, just tick "home team" or "enemy," according to taste. The Canadian prime minister is a typical late-stage Western politician: He could have said, well, these are contemptible people and I know many of us are disgusted at the idea of our tax dollars being used to provide health care for a man whose Canadian citizenship is no more than a flag of convenience, but unfortunately that's the law and, while we can try to tighten it, it looks like this lowlife's got away with it. Instead, his reflex instinct was to proclaim this as a wholehearted demonstration of the virtues of the multicultural state. Like many enlightened Western leaders, the Canadian prime minister will be congratulating himself on his boundless tolerance even as the forces of intolerance consume him."

As usual, he was 100% spot on....and all the more reason why our troops should refrain from taking prisoners, since these vile jihadi are now apparently entitled to Miranda warnings and public defenders.

Photo of Gitmo’s Child Taliban Leaked

A Toronto newspaper on March 8 published a graphic photo of long-held Guantanamo captive Omar Khadr, a Canadian youth captured during a 2002 firefight with U.S. forces in Afghanistan and severely wounded in his chest.

Khadr was 15 years old in the picture. Now 21, he faces a likely late summer trial by military commission for allegedly throwing a grenade during the firefight that killed a U.S. Army sergeant.

The photo posted on The Toronto Star website accompanies excerpts from a book, “Guantanamo’s Child,” written by Michelle Shephard, a reporter for the newspaper.

The Star journalist for years has tracked the tale of the Toronto-born, U.S.-held Khadr.

The paper did not say how it acquired the photo, a rare up-close scene of a bloodied, war-wounded captive in the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.

Wow, it's really him.

I hope Israel is pleased with the swap.

Kantar, who had been serving multiple life terms in Israel for a grisly 1979 attack, wiped away tears as he stood before hundreds in the coastal border town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon. An honor guard escorted the men to a stage as a brass band played martial music and rows of uniformed fighters saluted.
"We knew that you were waiting for the resistance and it reached you. You came back free and heroes," said Ibrahim Amin al-Sayed, head of Hezbollah's political bureau.

NO, you are incorrect. This is not "sympathy" for the enemey. IF the enemy combatant knows that he can't surrender, he will not try, he will simply die trying to kill more Americans.
That not all jihadists are looking to become martyrs is evidenced by the vast numbers we have captured, who surrendered on the battlefield because they could do so and NOT BE KILLED FOR SURRENDERING.

They do not SURRENDER. That is the point. They just continue the jihad from another venue.

364 lawhawk  Wed, Jul 16, 2008 11:10:54am

Nice to see folks throwing out all kinds of definitions.

This murderous thug was 15 at the time he killed the soldier.

Was he a child soldier? Well, he clearly took up arms and the West frowns upon children used in waging wars. We call such children "child soldiers."

However, he was not a soldier in a regular army, complete with uniform.

He was operating under the banner of jihad, fighting for al Qaeda. He was an enemy combatant not protected under the Geneva Conventions, which specifically provide POW treatment for soldiers in uniform.

Al Qaeda does not wear a uniform. It does not adhere to the Geneva Conventions, and will cut off the heads of those it captures. It will purposefully attack civilians. It will try to kill soldiers where possible.

Such is the case with this jihadi. His age is irrelevant. He was a terrorist, captured on the battlefield taking up arms against the US military and killing a US soldier.

He's lucky he was not killed on that same battlefield.

Instead, we have multiple sob stories - from him as per the video and his mom, who's happy to send her family off to be jihadis, but isn't willing to live with the repercussions of watching them get caught.

The only way to effectively fight Evil is to turn it on itself, and that purpose is not served by killing unarmed men (regardless of their age or combatant status) or mistreating prisoners.

That being said there are still plenty of things that can be done with prisoners, without abusing them, that will serve the purpose of turning Evil on itself.

So how DC or Canada might treat a 15 year old murderer is really only tangentially relevant to how a non-uniformed 15 year old soldier with grenades is treated on the battlefield in Afghanistan.


Please don't call such a person a "soldier". Soldiers required to observe a code of honor.

A non-uniformed foreigner bearing arms in a war zone is NOT a soldier.

Geneva POW convention

Ergo a non-uniformed Canadian bearing arms in an Afghani war-zon is NOT a soldier.

Such a person has no rights under the acknowledged rules of war. To dhimmify the rules of war and say that muslims of all ages and dress get to throw grenades anywhere and everywhere and still have the rights of soldiers (or worse civilians) is civilizational suicide.

The Left is crying "TORTURE!" over this video, but please note:

1. He's being interviewed by Canadians, not Americans.
2. No one lays a single finger on him.
3. No one even speaks to him harshly.
4. Criminals often cry when they get put in the interview room. If you've ever seen the show First 48, an ongoing documentary about Homicide squads in various cities, in nearly every single instance, they get the cold-blooded murderer into the interview room, and he'll start bawling, "I want to talk to my momma!" This, after he murdered six people or whatever. Crying while in custody proves nothing.

It's the best crime show on TV, cable or otherwise, and you wrote exactly what I was thinking myself.

re: #354 baconeatingkaffir

I agree... it isnt good to gakk the idiot on the battlefield bt its better to put him on trial and then gakk him. Let him and others like him see the error of his ways. Still as a terrorist he should go before a military tribunal and not a civilian. He wasnt acting civilian when he threw the grenade now was he?


I'm not sure that would be something Latrell or Murphy would agree on, 20/20 hindsight and all.

re: #359 Killgore Trout

I'm confused. The description of the photo does not even begin to resemble the actual photo. Am I missing something?

The photo shows what appears to be two U.S. Soldiers in battle-dress uniforms, on a patch of dirt, treating the Canadian’s wounds — moments after cutting away his blood-soaked traditional Muslim garb.

Um, I'm looking instead at a photo of a kid displaying a pair of bloody, severed hands. WTF?

re: #308 kansas

You know, I was noticing that these guys don't really surrender, they just quit to avoid being killed so they can carry on later.

It's their standard practice to call for "ceasefire" until they re-arm.

That's why "Peace" processes in their inner struggles go nowhere.

Khadr’s burka-clad sister was on the radio this morning. Each question to her was met with a counter-question of moral equivalence and outright denial:

The family was there doing charitable work.“

The boy and father merely defended their home as anyone else would” (as if war starts with the flick of a switch, guns can not be heard in the distance, and there is no talk amongst the inhabitants – no chance for innocents to get out of the way. By the way, how exactly do charitable workers get their mitts on guns and grenades so quickly?)

Americans have killed Canadians, so this is no difference.”

The Harper government is just a bunch of Bush lackeys.”

Innocent until proven guilty” (um, jihadi girl, that is a decidedly Western concept).

Canada should protect its citizens.” (I thought it was ummah vs kaffirs. What is this “Canada” thing?)

re: #373 realwest

OK, ONE LAST TRY: in combat you are engaged in shooting or throwing grenades or whatever at an enemey who is doing the same to you.
Said enemey puts down his weapon (for whatever reason) and says or otherwise indicates "I surrender". At that point he is no longer a danger to the troops and asking the troops to kill him anyway, instead of taking him prisoner, is asking the US troops to murder him. Period.

Of course, there are situations in which even shooting someone who appears to be surrendering is justifiable. Japanese troops often feigned surrender in the island campaigns, tucking a live grenade in an armpit, coming out with their arms *partly* raised, then fully raising their arms once within a few yards of US troops so that the grenade fell out and the spoon popped off.

When Peruvian commandos retook the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima in 1997, they shot every terrorist they encountered, even the ones who shouted "I surrender". Their justification; they couldn't take the risk that the terrorist would have a concealed grenade or firearm and use it to attack commandos or hostages. I believe the SAS went in to the Iranian embassy in London in 1980 with the same ROE.

I'd rather see him cry as him mounts the steps of a gallows.

I agree. He was not an Afghani yout, caught up in the moment.
That would not excuse him, but aggravating circumstance here is that he traveled all the way from Canada to kill Coalition troops.
He should be executed.

The Left has a chronic cognitive disorder; they routinely confuse feelings with facts. The Left also hangs onto the seriously false notion that criminals and other abusers just 'need to get in touch with their feelings' and they'll be all better. FACT: About all that criminals consider is how THEY FEEL. What they refuse to consider is how anyone else feels.

I get no pleasure from seeing anyone cry - ever. In fact, I find the image of this war criminal crying distressing. But, it's not about my feelings. And it's not about the criminal's feelings either. This guy is weeping only for himself .. these are not tears of remorse, they are tears of frustration - and they are tears .. not facts.

Update on Seattle Jewish Center shooters case...

Prosecutors: Haq phone calls to parents fair game

A recent Washington Supreme Court ruling that inmates' phone calls aren't private likely means jurors in the second trial of Naveed Haq will hear what he told his parents in phone calls from the King County Jail.

Haq stormed into a Seattle Jewish center in 2006 and shot six women - one fatally - as he ranted against Israel and the Iraq war.

King County prosecutors say the ruling has allowed them to access recordings of Haq's calls. Prosecutors say some of Haq's comments about being a martyr could help their case, while Haq's own lawyers say his remarks could help bolster their claim that he was insane.

Haq's calls can be used in new trial

In Superior Court, defense attorney John Carpenter gave a few examples of remarks that Haq made to his parents in phone calls soon after the crime, such as, "You should be proud of what I did" and "I did the right thing."
