text: I am shocked at how little discussion there has been about the erosion of the Geneva Convention and its rules around the treatment of POW's.  The biggest slap in the face to our our soldiers is  the lack of respect for this international law.  Our soldiers are in jeopardy in future wars when there can be arbitrary opt outs of a war.  The act that Khadr was accused of was in a battle in a war.  Calling it anything other than that is Orwellian.
  
  All those calling for being able to sue individual soldiers in acts of war might come to regret that in a big way.   There might be a long line of Vietnamese people wanting to launch a lawsuit...Iraqi's....Libyans...etc....  the whole concept is ridiculous and the Canadian court should summarily dismiss the case.  Where is the lawsuit against the drone pilot who mistakenly killed all the civilians at the wedding in  xyz country?
