I am not a lawyer nor have I read all of the details of Omar Khadr's case and the legal avenues that have been pursued to allow him to come back to Canada.
What I have witnessed are the banal exchanges on Twitter where generally Conservative pundits and just plain idiots proclaim how he is an Evil Terrorist, chomping at the bit to murder more people, totally responsible for his purported crimes etc. etc.
None of these people seem to hold the fact that he was 15 years old at the time of the incident as particularly germane.
But, the brain of a 15 year old is different from that of an adult, and whether the conservatives like it or not, that should be taken into consideration.
