| Military hands Gitmo detainee 40-year sentence; Obean administration "corrects" it. |
| 2010-11-01 |
| Let's see if I've got this straight: At 15 years old, Omar Khadr kills American commando. Omar gets caught and sent to Gitmo. Omar blames father for making him do it. Military court hands him 40-year sentence anyway. Obama administration reduces it to 8 years. Including time served. Omar gets out in one more year. Can someone please explain how the civilian court system is more appropriate? The only ramification here is that from now on, kids will be fighting a lot more since they aren't on the hook for their actions. |

| #5 Welcome back, your plea was your ticket out. Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about. Well the government's changed since you hung around, But your murderous crime has come back around. Who'd have thought it'd lead ya? (your lawyer knew it'd lead ya) Back here where we'll free ya? (eight years'll be a breeze, ya) Yeah we'll tease you a lot 'cause it's the only chance we've got, welcome back. Liberal hacks've got your back, you sack of crap. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back." Courtesy SDA |

| #2 In short Obama pretty much pardon's a terrorist and murderer....... |

| #1 There might be a way around this. Obama is hypersensitive about issuing pardons. For the most part, he doesn't, out of fear that he will get dinged on it. So in this case, they're going to give a reduced sentence. Unless the right starts calling it a pardon anyway. That might convince them to restore the original sentence. |
