LOL your justifications know no limits do they jag, oh thats right except when it comes to the US.
I'm not justifying a darn thing. I'm simply clarifying the misinformation put into this forum. Whether this insertion is deliberate or done through ignorance, I won't speculate, other than to say it is incorrect. What do people have against the truth?
If im not mistaken this kid is from canada and went over there to fight so your scenario does not apply.
You are mistaken. This kid is from Canada who along with his older brother went to Afghanistan to live with their father. This is a scenario similar to what we see in many families who have been impacted by divorce.
Look at the 2
nd and the 3
rd in line to succeed to the British throne for instance. They too are the product of a broken home whose parents divorced. The boys were primarily raised by their mother at Kensington Palace. She was their primary caregiver, ...until they approached puberty, when they began to spend more and more time with their father at Highgrove (I think that's it). They even moved in with their father to have the benefit of male parental guidance. While Omar and his older brother were in Afghanistan, they got caught in the invasion, and when soldiers came to their home with guns, they were fired upon, and they fired back.
I don't justify anything, I simply relay the facts of what happened. It is up to officials at Guantanamo and the military courts to determine whether what actions he may or may not have taken can be considered 'guilty' of anything, or whether those actions were justified or not.
I do know that Guantanamo officials previously released his older brother years ago, and that US military officials and Guantanamo jail guards have publicly stated on the record that he is
"a good kid" and they felt that the longer he stayed in Guantanamo, the higher the chances of him becoming radicalized.
What does that say? It says US military prosecutors & Guantanamo jail guards do not believe him to be a radical jihadist. If he was one, there would be no room for him 'to become' one, he'd already be it. How frequently do Guantanamo officials call radical jihadists
"a good kid"?
If some of my fellow country man killed and mamed innocent civilians on the basis religion or beliefs it is my belief that these people would be rooted out and delt with by our own government.
By
"Dealt with" ...do you mean 'prosecuted'? ...or do you mean given a scholarship to 'The School of the Americas' and put on the CIA payroll?" Please clarify ...your vague statement may or may not be considered accurate through any number of scenarios.
