"A videotape of a detainee being questioned at the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay has been released for the first time.
It shows 16-year-old Omar Khadr being asked by Canadian officials in 2003 about events leading up to his capture by US forces, Canadian media have said." Read more here and here.
Now Omar Khadr is 21 years old. That's five years in captivity. I don't want to imagine how psychologically damaged the kid is. But I do know that this is the type of things that breeds more hatred.
He could be guilty or not guilty for the crime he is accused of. But I do know that the system in place to treat him does not follow the rule of law that democratic and free nations espouse.
For an equally disturbing reality check, you should take some time to watch Road to Guantanamo.
