Thank you, meself, for this thread. I didn't know about this case. I did know about Dallaire from the early thread about him. I continue to admire him and am impressed by him. I wish we had someone brave enough to say something like this:

"The minute you start playing with human rights, with conventions, with civil liberties, in order to say that you're doing it to protect yourself and you are going against those rights and conventions, you are no better than the guy who doesn't believe in them at all," he said.

The kid was fifteen...and has been held for six years! Odd that we get all in a furor about the FLDS boys who are kicked out of their homes, yet at least they are not made to go to war as child-soldiers. I know it's apples and oranges, but it still strikes me as an incredible juxtaposition...the teens here who are on their own and boys like Khadr who are told to fight or die.
