child soldiers
"Omar Ahmed Khadr was under trial because he was under charge of murdering the Sgt. of the US military first class Christopher James Speer. Speer and others were severely injured when "U.S. forces entered a compound where Khadr and others were located". After a firefight ensued, prosecutors alleged Khadr threw a grenade that killed Speer and wounded others." But a line ago the small stance said that US forces entered the compound where Omar Khadr and others were located. This means that Khadr was defending his area and had no intention of a forward attack. when reading forward the text says that " Khadr was also seriously wounded in the firefight, half-blinded in one eye and with two bullet wounds to his chest. In bringing the murder in violation of the laws of war charge before a military commission, the U.S. government is saying that the killing of a combatant openly on the battlefield is a war crime when committed by an irregular combatant." These facts were skipped during his trial. He was injured during defensive actions and not offensive ones. He has comitied a crime and that is a fact but still neither did he voulenter nor did he go on and enter someones territory with the intention of a forward attack. Of course he shall be held under strict counselling from a high leaves and experienced state counselor as he has made offensive actions .
