The Canadian citizen in Afghanistan was captured by the US Army in 2002 when he was 15. Today he is 26. In a 2010 plea bargain he admitted to throwing a hand grenade. He was sentenced to eight years. He was to serve his term in Canada - but they seemed to have dropped the ball. [Gitmo's Youngest Captive Turns 26].

The image is found in a story about a Gitmo prisoner found dead but look at the conditions of their imprisonment, One doesn't have to be a liberal bleeding heart to recognize that this is not justice.
These conditions, I submit, casts doubt on any admission of guilt, especially by plea bargain.
And why are we in Afghanistan? We are there to make them pay for 9-11? We are there to establish democracy where it is a foreign concept to say the least? We are there to assist an elite few to impose their rule on a populace that is poor and uneducated. Democracy imposed, forced is a better term, from above by an elite few rather than being sought by the populace below is not democracy.
