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.
