The case of Canadian citizen Omar Khadr

Omar Khadr's lawyers have released on the internet 8 minutes from a seven hours video, that was handed to them on Canada's supreme court decision, of their client being interrogated by Canadian intelligence agents at Guantanamo.

· Youth shown in despair and begging for help
· Canadian interrogators dismissive about injuries


The Canadian interrogators tell the distraught 16 year old khadr who asks for help and calls his mother that his cries are a non useful strategy. But at the same time, by trying to get answers from him, they clearly interrogate him as a child while dismissing his comlaintsand his suffering. The war on terror has clouded our judgement to a breaking point where we need a team of intelligence agents to confront a 'terrorist' who is a child.

Now this is a team that interrogates a child as a child but firmly believes that the child is a terrorist !
