When a Child is groomed to be exploited as a Soldier and likely brainwashed and radicalized, what chance did they really have, what choice did they really have.

Apparently he has used some of his settlement money to buy and restore a shopping mall here in Edmonton where he lives, using it as a revenue generator for the future.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-63377595621695564502021-06-26T06:35:22.518-06:002021-06-26T06:35:22.518-06:00Atrocities seem to be unavoidable in every war and...Atrocities seem to be unavoidable in every war and even encouraged in some.

Here in Australia some of our elite fighting forces are being accused of heinous war crimes. Sadly I suspect there is a lot of truth in the accusations (and indeed a Royal Commission supports that view).Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-19897535274513264492021-06-25T12:43:42.604-06:002021-06-25T12:43:42.604-06:00I have a colour photo of Khadr getting first aid t...I have a colour photo of Khadr getting first aid that shows a shrapnel wound previous to his being shot in the back.

The CIA apparently knew at the time that he was innocent. However, he was renditioned to Syria where he was tortured for a year and then returned to Canada with no charges laid.
