Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr pleaded guilty to all charges against him Monday, a Canadian diplomat said, in the first military commission trial there since Barack ObamaIn spite of all we already know about the wondrous Khadr family, his lawyer insisted again that baby Omar is innocent.
Edney, in a phone interview with the CBC from Guantanamo Bay, labelled the plea deal "a piece of paper" and said his client "would have confessed to anything, including the killing of John F. Kennedy, just to get out of this hellhole."Yeas, we know, dear, good lawyer, good lawyer...
The only remaining question is: would we now have to wait for the next generation of Khadrs to grow up and continue the family tradition or will the current one repeat some of its feats?

I don't doubt that a fair few of the inmates at Guantanamo were dangerous men. What I find disgraceful is the time it took for the Americans to actually do anything with the inmates. THat was an act of utter idiocy on their part.
I am not, of course, familiar with many cases of Guantanamo inmates, but why, for instance, this jerk Khadr was kept on ice for 8 years, is inexplicable. What kind of intelligence info could be gained from him?
Oh well...
