Sgt. Ist Class Speers' Killer Leaves Gitmo

Sergeant Ist Class(SFC) Christopher Speers was an Army medic who was killed in a firefight in Khost Province, Afghanistan when a hand grenade was thrown at him by one Omar Khadr, a fifteeen-year-old Canadian jihadi of Egyptian background.

Ironically, Khadr's life was only saved because SFC Speers' fellow medics treated him.

Khadr, whose father was a top al-Qaeda figure was sent to Guantamano, where aside from providing a fair amount of valuable intelligence  he confessed to killing Speer among other crimes. After Khadr  pleaded guilty to murder, attempted murder, providing material support for terrorism, spying and conspiracy, he was sentenced to - wait for it - eight years, with no credit for time served.

Eight years.

As part of the Obama Administration's drive to close Guantamano no matter what, Khadr is now being transferred to his country of citizenship, Canada, where he will serve the rest of his sentence at Millhaven Prison in Bath, Ontario, about 130 miles east of Toronto.

Unlike a number of countries I could mention, the Canadians can be trusted to keep Khadr in jail , at least until his sentence is up in spite of the usual leftist agitation. After he's freed, he'll probably be released and go back to fighting the jihad against the very people who showed him mercy.

On the other hand, SFC Speers and his loved ones received  a life sentence with no chance of parole at the hands of Omar Khadr.

Remember this when you wonder, 'why don't the Muslims respect us?'

Obama Administration To Issue 'Indefinite Detention' Executive Order for Gitmo Detainees

My, how things have changed!

The president who campaigned on the vow that he would close our detention center for jihadis at Guantanamo is now preparing an executive order that would formalize indefinite detention without trial for them.

The jihadis will be allowed to challenge their incarceration, of course. But it will be in front of military tribunals, not civilian courts.

Originally, Obama's plan was to transfer detainees to a facility in the United States and to try them in civilian courts.After the fiasco at the trial of US embassy bomber Ahmed Ghailani, the opposition to a New York City civilian court trial for Khalid Sheik Mohammed, and the stats on how many Club Gitmo detainees we released returned to the jihad, even President Obama finally realized his mistake.

Of course, he's not going to admit it. Imagine a president who had the sense of honor to admit that an argument he used to demonize his predecessor was completely mistaken, and that the man he demonized was right all along....
