This has to be a sunset article for Konrad Yakubuski.   That any sane, objective correspondent could rationalize Khadr's innocence and justification for this outrageous payment is beyond credibility.    Yakubuski is done , in my estimation, and bears little or no credibility beyond this issue.   Further, the payment to Khadr is an insult to those Canadian veterans who sacrificed their lives in Afghaniztan.    Should we now open the coffers to hear the complaints of German veterans who felt they were victimized as prisoners in WW1 ?
