      Are you familiar with the button called "Submit a Story"?

      It's right up at the top right of the page.

      And you've been a member since July 2006?

          Yes, they'll put it on the site. If you tell your friends and it gets enough votes and/or comments, it'll get on the front page. That's how it works.

          There are plenty of stories on both sides. Pay attention.

    There is no exculpatory evidence here. At best his lawyers are trying to claim that A HOUSE as in 1 house was actually a compound.

    Even in this incredibly one sided story ya can't make the claim that "a house" is "the compound"

    I'm impressed with our soldier's professionalism. This guy just killed one of their own and rather than kill him outright or turning him over to the Northern alliance (they executed ALL non Afghans captured) they took him into custody.

  Is life from other countries so cheap to you DL?

  I've got a book for you---it will help you understand what happens in certain circles of power.

  "The Lucifer Effect" Phillip Zimbardo. It's not a left or a right book. It's just an explanation.

      DL---I have said nothing except that you might think life is cheap elsewhere. Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say you were a neo-con. What I said was you might need some understanding of situational power and how it happens. I believe that the soldiers who commit atrocities get caught up in a system of power with a definite authority. I didn't call the military names but I don't have any respect for men who behave the way these men have been shown to behave. There were many eyewitnesses to what they did but unfortunately they were Iraqi so their testimony doesn't count.

      The torture trials are another matter---OUR men stood by while it happened. They even softened up the victims for the interrogations. If they were told they were doing a good job, they continued.

      The men who have come forward to tell what they saw or heard or were even a part of have been drug through the mud. I think they are the real heros. No military on earth should get away with what we are doing.

      Being a soldier doesn't necessarily make you a good person DL.

  When are Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell & Gates going to be tried for war crimes and sent to prison?

  How about that clown in uniform called Be-Tray-Us?

    Then what's the point of torturing them if you can't believe what they say?

  The kid was 15 years old!

  My kids are older than that.

  But not as old as he is now.

  I love my kids.

  Wow

  Theres a whole lot more to this story than is stated in this article.

  Khadr admitted that he threw the grenade. It happened after the house he was in with some militants had been bombed by U S Airplanes.

  He had been injured by the bombing and said he thought the soldiers were going to kill him where he lay, since they were shooting at him. He was hit by three gunshots.

  Still able to see his attackers he thought they were going to assinate him where he lay after the grenade killed the U S Special Forces soldier. He was 15.

  Later the wife of the killed soldier sued Khadr's father and the U S Judge issued a judgement of $102 million against Khadr's father.

  I suppose that's enough for starters.

  Oops! Forgot. I believe that the U S Tribunal Courts have decided to ignore the Canadian Court ruling.

  Check it out.
