Omar Khadr

	The misleading first impression given by the Wikipedia page as defined by the photograph and caption on the right is that Khadr is a 24 year old, convicted war criminal and terrorist, and alleged al-Qaeda member, omitting to note: His being 15 years old when his 'offences' took place His abominable torture and mistreatment over 8 years of mostly solitary confinement The 'plea-bargain' that offered him freedom in a few years if he pleaded guilty; or incarceration for life otherwise The nature of the 'legal process' that prosecuted the alleged offences The assumption that US soldiers can legally go abroad and ambush Khadr's uncle and others, but that returning fire was illegal
