We do not have all the information. Granted he was young but his actions are not innocent. I see no evidence of anyone forcing him to do anything - don't know where that story came from. I do not doubt for a moment that the U.S. produces terrorists by simple fact of their policies. I saw no evidence of torture on the video you produced. The police use stronger tactics. However, do you have any idea what really went down that day? Have you ever served in the military? At least, before you judge, read the firsthand accounts and statements and even the Al Qaeda papers.

There is a list of quotes and statements at the bottom of the wikipedia article. Perhaps video would be nice:

Asked if there's evidence that Omar or that his family has connections to al Qaeda, Altenburg tells Simon, "There's evidence that he was fighting with people from al Qaeda, which would arguably make him a part of al Qaeda."

Evidence like images caught on a videotape, found in the rubble after Khadr was captured. A man seen in the video is teaching the other men how to attach detonation wires to land mines. Also seen on the tape is a young man who appears to be Omar Khadr, helping put together a firing device.

Later in the videotape, you can see the land mines being planted in the ground, in the dark, most likely aimed at American soldiers

>The whole thing is ridiculous anyway. How many people here have said that they would be quite happy to shoot anyone invading their homes. Well, soldiers invaded his home. He threw a grenade, and now they're charging him with murder. It's not as if he came to the U.S. and threw a grenade, for Pete's sake. The U.S. is pretty much saying that if U.S. soldiers invade someone's country, the citizens can be charged with murder for defending themselves.

>Now, don't get me wrong, while I disagreed with the invasion of Iraq, I was solidly behind the invasion of Afghanistan. But to charge those who are being invaded with murder for fighting back is really stretching it.

>>>I wonder if any criminal experiences this kind of 'torture' at the point of arresting. For example, handcuffing could qualify in both 'physical' and 'mental' categories. Also, it seems that any 'punishment' is a 'torture'. Advocating for centencing by Canadian court to incarceration in Canadian jail could mean supporting another kind of the torture. The only way, you and your ilk would be happy is an unconditional freedom for any terrosist suspect.
