#1 Three justices, Stephen Breyer, David Souter, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, dissented from the action. They said the issue deserved the court's immediate attention.

#6 The central charge in the Khadr case is that he engaged in a firefight with US and Afghan forces during an assault on a suspected Al Qaeda compound on July 27, 2002. After the firefight, US soldiers entered the compound. Commission documents say Khadr then threw a grenade that killed US Army Sgt. Christopher Speer. Khadr's charge sheet also says he converted land mines into improvised explosive devices and planted the devices beside roads to kill US and coalition forces. He is also alleged to have provided material support to a terror organization by becoming an Al Qaeda fighter. He allegedly received Al Qaeda training in the use of rocket-propelled grenades, rifles, pistols, hand grenades, land mines, and other explosives.

One more reason to begin enforcing the Geneva Conventions precisely and to have executed this worthless piece of camel-sh&t on the spot.

If this doesn't deserve being stood up against a wall and shot or hanged by the neck until dead, very little does.
