Utah soldier wins judgment against alleged (wink, wink) terrorist's kin
2005-10-28
A Utah Special Forces soldier partially blinded in a firefight in Afghanistan and his dead comrade's widow have won a default judgment against the estate of a Canadian family accused of ties to al-Qaida terrorists.Message to the lefty Canuks: Clean up your islamic cesspool or we'll make you take care of your OWN national defense. Then you would would not have the dollars to give to the cradle to grave health care we are indirectly subsidizing.
Sgt. 1st Class Layne Morris said after the 2002 firefight in which his right eye was blinded that Omar Khadr hid inside a compound waiting for U.S. troops to come inside. Khadr, then 15, is accused of tossing a grenade that killed medic Christopher James Speer.Send the little sweetheart to Utah.
Morris and Speer's widow, Tabitha, sued for damages last year after Morris saw the American public television show "Frontline" in which a family member defended Khadr's actions and said the death of a U.S. soldier was "no big deal."Hey "family member": I hope your right eye runs into a sharp stick some dark night...accidently...with a Green Beret on the other end of the stick. A**hole.
This week, U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell in Salt Lake City told the plaintiffs to submit evidence that establishes the amount of damages they expect.
"This is my way of continuing the war against terrorism," said Morris, the housing director for West Valley City. "And hopefully there will be money for Christopher Speer's widow and their two young children."Doubtful. The Canadians by and large don't recognize they have a problem.
Omar Khadr is being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, over protests of the Canadian government that he is a juvenile.You drop a grenade in a combat zone...your lucky your body's not burning outside some village. What a waste of gitmo cell space.
Morris' lawsuit sought damages from the accused boy's father, Ahmad Sa'id Khadr, who purportedly collected from an Islamic front charity to run an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan. There's no "purportedly" about it. The Canuks are in denial. The legal action was based on the argument that a parent has a duty to control a minor child to prevent him from intentionally harming others.
Morris' attorney, Donald Winder, said he will seek money from funds frozen by the U.S. and Canadian governments and the United Nations. The elder Khadr is believed to have been killed in a gunbattle in Pakistan.Boo. Hoo. Rot in Hell with the rest of your islamo-cockroach buddies, Ahmad.
His widow returned to Canada to seek treatment for their youngest son, Karim Khadr, for wounds he received fighting with al-Qaida in the same firefight that killed his father.How about six 9MM incisions behind the ear?
In April, Cassell issued an order allowing Morris to publicize the legal action in Toronto, where the Khadr family lives, after their attorney refused to accept a copy of the lawsuit. I have some ideas about how I would like to deliever the papers.

Any Canadians out there who can explain the reluctance of your government, and society (generally) to accept the reality you have a islamo-terrorist problem?

#7  For too long when victims' families want justice or retribution, they sue for $$$ either American manufacturers andor public entities whom as a class were as much victims as they were. WHY, because they know in part they are NOT going to get anything from those Personages or Govts that support or aid these terrorists, let alone from the terrorists themselves, ergo USA and only the USA foots the bill of suit and the blame. SO WHY SHOULD THE USG, US INSTITUTIONS AND US TAXPAYERS BEING THE ONLY ONES TO PAY, AND TO PAY WHETHER ITS AMERICA'S OR AMERICAS FAULT OR NOT - you know, Left-beloved "UNIVERSAL/INTERNATIONAL" EQUALISM and PROGRESSIVENESS!? The USA has been paying out since the 1940's - present, from 1972 MUNICH and anti-Israeli Pales. terrorists blowing up US-made Airliners on African deserts, to the first attack on the WTC and 9-11. Meanwhile the Commies, both Stalin's USSR and Mao's boyz, and aligned have been shooting at US units, and killing andor wounding US soldiers, since during WW2, even while we're helping them fight Hitler and Tojo, and to survive against Hitler and Tojo.

#6  agree with you, Depotguy. It proves that we have not yet begun to fight. We haven't unleashed real war yet. When we pretend that lawyers are part of war, it's not real war. Real war means total destruction of the enemy at any cost. AQ and their terrorist friends are fighting a real wary, giving it all they have got. Woe to them when we get around to doing the same.

#5  I have the utmost respect for the courageous men and women in the military service. And I offer my sincere condolences to the families and friends of the fallen and injured in action. But I question the wisdom of litigation as a result of injury or death on the battlefield. It seems like a slippery slope we shouldn’t venture towards.

#3  Go Mikey.

One of the nasty little issues that our corrupt Liberal government uses to cling to power is a vicious and open anti-american attitude delivered over their morally superior multicultural noses. To which the communist educated and government funded media suck right up. The only reason this crappy nation exists is to demostrate how much better we are than America.

These same holier than thou clowns then spend their winter vacations in Florida. 'nuff said.

Go Mikey. Enjoy Disneyworld.

#2  Jesus Christ, do you honestly think that all of us Canucks (BTW - you spelled it wrong) are as stupid as the do-nothing liberal dweebs in Ottawa ? Many of us would love nothing more than to send the Khadre family to you in sealed body bags (feel free to bury their remains in pork rinds). The thought of that ninja-suited slah and her whelps scavenging off of our Medicare is slightly more than most of us can stomach. Since she's such a fan of Osama, we figure she and her unholy brood should be airlifted to the Pashtun and dropped without a parachute. (Heh heh.... say "Hi" when you land, bi-atch.)

Get off your high horses guys. Last time I checked, Cindy Sheehan was from the USA, not Canuck-land. You have your leftie a**holes urging your government to 'open a dialogue' with al Qaida, and so do we. You have Islamo-douchebag preachers plotting the downfall of your society, and so do we. Our federal government has been slower than your to wake the hell up, but I believe that it is happening, just as in Eurabia. Hopefully, it won't take mass casualties to accelerate the process, but I'm not that hopeful in light of our current government.

In all seriousness, Canada still hasn't gotten over the spectacle of having our PM Brian Mulrooney's head lodged up the backside of two consectutive American Republican presidents. It was simply too much for our fragile egos to take - his party was absolutely destroyed in the next election and it has never recovered. Hence, there hasn't been an effective opposition up here for years (sound familiar ?) The liberal government which followed took global terrorism just as seriously as did the US under two Clinton administrations - which is to say, not seriously enough.

The proportion of people up here who actually have a brain and support Israel is probably comparable to your own population. We also (unfortunately) have lots of people who injest their news in little sound-bites between episodes of 'American Idol' (gag) or 'Canadian Idol' (mega-gag), and are thus basically ignorant of the world around them. Our societies are remarkably similar that way.

#1  Ah, the Khadr's. Toronto's favorite terrorist family. They've been featured here many times.
I wonder if they'll have to pool all their welfare checks to pay this off?
