Khadr pleaded guilty seven years ago to the murder of American Army Sergeant Christopher Speer while the sergeant was treating Khadr&#8217;s wounds. <\/p>\n<p>Today, we read in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torontosun.com\/2017\/07\/08\/trudeau-should-be-charged-with-treason-morris\">Toronto Sun<\/a> that the former special forces soldier who was wounded by Khadr in the grenade attack that killed Speer, Layne Morris, is accusing Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau of treason for justifying the settlement to Canadian taxpayers;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe fact is Chris Speer and myself were fighting with Canadians in Afghanistan. We were alongside the PPCLI (Princess Patricia\u2019s Canadian Light Infantry). There was a Canadian flag flying along with the American flag at our base there, so it\u2019s quite a thing that now Canada is giving millions to a guy who would attack a compound where Canadians were serving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canada, he predicts, will regret this dark deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a general rule, and in every other case that I have ever heard of, you keep money out of the hands of people who build bombs or would throw hand grenades at our soldiers,\u201d said Morris.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Canada didn\u2019t, he said, raises red flags for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see this as anything but treason,\u201d said Morris. \u201cIt\u2019s something a traitor would do. As far as I am concerned, Prime Minister Trudeau should be charged.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Morris and Speer&#8217;s widow have filed a lawsuit to keep Khadr from seeing any of the money, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/politics\/injured-u-s-soldier-says-canada-owed-khadr-nothing-1.3494327\">CTV<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He shouldn\u2019t be getting a dime,\u201d said Morris. \u201cHe should feel grateful that he\u2019s walking the streets in the first place and ought to feel privileged to be able \u2026 to be a productive and contributing member of society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris and Tabitha Speer, the widow of Sgt. Chris Speer, who was alleged to have been killed by Khadr, filed a lawsuit to try and stop any money from reaching Khadr\u2019s hands. Two years ago, Speer and Morris won a US-$134.1 million judgment against Khadr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/politics\/what-people-are-saying-about-the-omar-khadr-settlement-and-apology-1.3493897\">CTV<\/a> also quoted Khadr in another article;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My past: I&#8217;m not excusing it, I&#8217;m not denying it. We all do things that we wish we could change. All I can do right now is focus on the present and do my best to become a productive member of society, a good person, a good human being. Look at my actions and judge me on that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess $10.5 million will help him be productive, but the Canadians should track that money &#8211; Khadr&#8217;s father was a terrorist who was killed by an airstrike while meeting with other terrorist chiefs in Afghanistan. Khadr&#8217;s terrorist roots run deep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day we talked about Omar Khadr, the Guantanamo alum who won a $10.5 million &hellip; <a title=\"Layne Morris: Justin Trudeau is a traitor to Canada\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73287\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Layne Morris: Justin Trudeau is a traitor to Canada<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73287\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
