I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me when a crime is heinous enough, a teen gets more serious jail time. Look at Kelly Ellard, who was a teen when she killed Rena Verk. 

I don't know Mr. Khadr's state of mind as a teenager, but so far he hasn't made the noises I'd expect from an adult truly horrified at what he did. How about compassion for Canadian veterans? For the widow of Christopher Speer? Why not give most of his take to these worthy causes?
