"Major Triumph"-"Canada has washed its hands of complicity in an abusive U.S. military process"

Stunning setback for Gitmo War Crimes Trials

This setback means not only that Khadr's defense will have access to a lot of the context of his interrogations denied to him by the Military Tribunals process, but adds to a growing body of Canadian Legal precedent that increasingly regards US activities as exceptional and extra-legal.Ottawa ordered to give Khadr interrogation documents

The Supreme Court of Canada has ordered the federal government to hand over information to alleged terrorist Omar Khadr that it gleaned from interrogation sessions that Canadian agents held with him in 2003.

Now 21, Mr. Khadr's U. S. war-crimes trial is scheduled to begin later this year. His lawyers are seeking the material in order to prepare his defence.

The 9-0 decision – signed simply "by the Court" – said that Mr. Khadr is entitled to any records of the interviews, regardless of what form they are in. It stated that he must also be given any information that Canadian authorities have given to their US counterparts as a direct consequence of conducting the interviews.

Friday morning's decision is a major triumph for a growing phalanx of Khadr supporters who believe that Canada has washed its hands of complicity in an abusive U.S. military process.

They make the right decision time after time.

Why can't the US be more like you?

Let sanity prevail.

Thank you for helping us put the lie to this criminal undertaking.
