Omar Khadr

The video of Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr's interrogation has been all over the web today. Omar's defense attorneys petitioned to have the video released to garner sympathy for their client. In the video the teenager cries pathetically and recounts how he has been mistreated. The child in the video is a far cry from the Jihad warrior who killed a 28-year-old Sergeant First Class Christopher Speer a medic with the U.S. Special Forces. His defense attorneys would rather you not watch this video of a another soilder wounded by Khadr's grenade:
