Thanks, Romeo and Alex !   And thank you Globe and Mail !   I've been so disgusted with the media coverage but this was a refreshing, accurate article explaining why the compensation and apology were necessary.  So good to hear some voices of reason on this case.   I've followed the Khadr case for many years and have been so disappointed in Canada's treatment of him.   Now, it seems the whole country is angry that he is finally getting justice!   I see so many nasty comments and name calling and I wonder where are the compassionate Canadians ....or even the Canadians that believe in the Charter of Rights.  I really hope Khadr finally has a happy future.
