A U.S. soldier at the battle said in sworn testimony that two al-Qaeda fighters were alive after the fatal grenade attack.
The unidentified soldier says he killed the first al-Qaeda fighter before spotting Khadr, whom he said was wounded, on his knees and facing away from him. For reasons he does not go into, he says he shot him in the back twice.
The Pentagon says American soldiers fired on Khadr in self-defence after he tried to attack them.
Khadr’s military lawyer Lt.-Cmdr. Bill Kuebler suggests that the U.S. military may have been involved in a coverup.
“The U.S. government had a problem on its hands when it found that it had a 15-year-old Canadian on its hands with two gaping bullet holes in his back that had been facing away from the fight,” said Kuebler.

So here we have a 15 year old shot in the back, imprisoned, tortured, denied basic human rights and dignities and Harper can’t take Bush’s dick out of his mouth long enough to demand Khadr’s immediate release and return?
Harper is not a leader. He is a school yard bully who got left in charge in of the class, and it is time the class pulled their heads out of their books and got a teacher back in charge.
I’d leave off by asking that Harper look deep inside and do the right thing. But he already has his head as far up his ass as it will go.
I’m angry too. This has been a travesty of justice from the get go but with this latest revelation, you would think that Canada’s New Government would do something. Not likely to happen because Harper, like Bush, don’t like dark people.
Right on April.
This Kangaroo court is a travesty.
But then so is the Minority Harper Government.
They won’t speak up even when (notice thats not an “if”)Canadian Citizens are kidnapped on Canadian soil and taken on rendition flights.
The only developed country that abandons its citizens like this. Shame.
