Terrorist Who Killed American Petitions Release Because He Wasn’t Read “Rights”

by Stephan Tawney on June 17, 2008

I’m with Ace here. Exactly what “rights” should we have read him when taking him into custody for killing an American soldier?

Against that backdrop [the Boudemaine decision], navy Lt.-Cmdr. Bill Kuebler, Khadr’s military-appointed defence lawyer, will use Wednesday’s hearing to argue that the entire case against the Toronto-born accused terrorist should be thrown out on grounds U.S. authorities have never told him of his rights.

I whole-heartedly recommend the implementation of a “take no prisoners” strategy for the future. Are we really considering the release of an American-killing terrorist because he wasn’t told about unspecified rights he really isn’t entitled to?
