Fox News host: 15 year-old detainee ‘maybe deserved’ harsh treatment.

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Today, lawyers for Canadian national Omar Khadr, a Guantanamo detainee, released an interrogation video from 2003, showing Khadr weeping and begging for better medical treatment. Discussing the video today on Fox News, host Trace Gallagher declared Khadr had killed an American solider — Khadr is accused of throwing a grenade — and so “maybe he deserves” to be tortured. Watch it:

 

According to reports, Khadr — who was just 15 years old when captured — was tortured while held by the U.S. in Bagram, Afghanistan, where “he was repeatedly brought into interrogation rooms on stretchers, in great pain” and “pain medication was withheld, apparently to induce cooperation.”

   Omar Khadr is a Canadian citizen…and was 15 years old when he was arrested and put in a concentration camp and tortured. He wasn’t charged with anything and has been tortured for 4 years!
   SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU! Trace Gallagher: What were you doing between 16 and 20? Not in a concentration camp? THEN SHUT THE HELL UP!
   “Deserves….” Go to hell Trace.

   FOX news, what else do you expect. Harsh, fascist bastards. Irrespective of ideology, this is a 16 year old kid. With no due process, no access to any remedies that’s provided through our lawful society. In direct contradiction to international laws, Emperor Bush and Governor Harper says so, so, it is so.

   This is scary. I watched the full video, and I can’t help but feel pity for him. How does anyone maintain their God-given rights when they’re being pressured like that.

   I’m a Canadian, and I don’t want any part of a government that condones something like this.

   They believe it’s right because the masses subscribe to the “Government Knows Best” Act and “Thinking For Oneself” crime. We’ew spiralling down and when we hit the bottom, we’re going to hit HARD.

   What’s the worst part of ignoring the Geneva conventions?
   Your own troops lose these protections if they are captured themselves. And America has no recourse, nothing to say, no means of proving these prisoners deserve protection.
