|WpIntro=This is a particularly egregious example of the insidious ''[[Project:Definitions|Official Narrative]]''-supporting nature of [[Wikipedia]]. Anyone visiting will immediately be drawn to the photograph and its accompanying caption information. For most visitors, this defines their first impression, which for many may be all they read. '''The impression given is that Khadr is a 24 year old, convicted war criminal and terrorist, and alleged al-Qaeda member'''. Whilst much of the background to this summary ''is'' covered in the rest of what is a detailed article, most people's over-riding impression does not address such matters as:

Censorship Spin  The Wikipedia page has been improved since 2011, but minimises his abominable torture and mistreatment over 8 years of mostly solitary confinement. It takes a credulous attitude to the 'plea-bargain' that offered him freedom in a few years if he pleaded guilty - or incarceration for life otherwise. It fails to scrutinize the nature of the 'legal process' that prosecuted the alleged offences, and doesn't question the assumption that US soldiers can legally go abroad and ambush Khadr's family members, but that returning fire was illegal.
