Gitmo Detainee Tape Raises Eyebrows on Both Sides of the Isle
Below is the newly released video of a 16 year-old Omar Khadr being questioned by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service after being accused of throwing a grenade that kill military medic in Afganistan in 2002. Khadr can be seen crying continuously, covering his eyes and chanting. He claims that his confession made previously to U.S. officials was due to torture.
Khadr says, after being told he looks as if he’s getting good medical care, “No I’m not. You’re not here… I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything!”
“No, you still have your eyes and your feet are still at the end of your legs, you know,” the man in the video says. Sobbing uncontrollably, Khadr repeats a few times, “You don’t care about me.”
Khadr’s lawyer claims that Khadr’s fragile state was a result of several days of sleep deprivation and his being moved from his cell to another for three weeks.
I don’t know that I agree with any particular side on this matter. Liberals seem too quick to take Khadr’s side. While conservatives are just as fervent about throwing him into the Bottomless Pit. Shouldn’t we wait for the verdict, People? Anyway, please watch the video and give me your feed back… waxfully that is.
The guys on Dragnet did more harm to the people they questioned than what I saw on this tape. It’s a joke. If someone has a problem with this type of “abuse” they are nuts. I think this is nothing. They might want to let me try to get a few facts out of him. He’s a punk and he is not ready to pay his dues. He needs to be made to do that.
