Children less his age have been tried as an adult for lesser crimes.

nyckate,

If a child of yours were held for years without being charged, in an illegal prison, and his captors told you over and over again that he or she was a "terrorist", would that be enough to satisfy you of their guilt?

U have been reading the wrong history. Never, Never has the US went to war from a UN resolution or word of another country.The last war when there was a vote taken was WW2, by F D Roosevelt. The whole world INCLUDING THE UN WAS AGAINST ATTACKING IRAQ.

Re: "Out of the 305 detainees in Guantanamo, Omar Khadr''s case will be only the second to be prosecuted."

Obviously they have no case against these illegally held detainees, and obviously they are not the "worst of the worst", as has been claimed, since so many of them have already been released, without charge, folowing their torure and lengthy detension at Guantanimo."

Re: "The U.S. says an eyewitness has recently provided new evidence that could bolster Khadr''s defense."

If this boy was the only one found alive, how could there be any eyewitnesses?

This case is obviously garbage, even if it wasn''t being conducted at an illegal detention center by a kangaroo court of fascistic cowards.

What the he-ll were those US troops doing over there? By their own addmission they were killing innocent people. Then they had to call in the airforce with 500 lb. bombs. If that young boy would of had one plane there would of been another Dunkirk.

Don''t blame the victim for the crime. Just because the murderer is 15 years old does not excuse him from his crime, whatever it is, especially murder. Nor does laying the blame on another person excuse the perpetrator. I don''t feel sorry for him at all. But by the same token those who incite others to commit crimes should be prosecuted as if they themselves did it. Radical liberals are fond of accusing President Bush of using Nazi tactics. If that were true US combat units would go into towns, line up hundreds of people and kill them all. And if that had happened 60 minutes would surely have reported it to us the next day. The truth is only the person directly responsible is held for trial as in this case.

U.S. soldiers had no legitimate business in Afghanistan in the first place.

Even if the claims against this boy were true, which is highly doubtful, this could easily be dismissed as a case of self defense if the building was being attacked by the U.S. forces, as appears to be the case.

What a sick joke.

Re: "The fighting went on for hours. By the time it was over, the compound was completely destroyed by 500 pound bombs."

"Morris didn''t think anybody inside the compound could still be alive. "The assumption was that everybody''s dead in there," he says."

Sounds like ***. If the structure was "completely destryoed", how could there be an "in there"? Wouldn''t it be simply a pile of rubble?

The U.S. has no case against this boy, otherwise he would not be waiting for 5 years for his day in a sham trial.

It''''s not enough that we imprison without charge, torture, rape, soddomize, and execute people, in secret prisons and illegal detention centers like Guantanimo. We have to engage in this sub-human behavior against children as well.

What a disgraceful nation we have become.

Re: "Says Altenburg, "Because there is circumstantial evidence that would indicate he was the one who threw the grenade."

"Meaning no one else was found alive who could have thrown it."

So we have circumstantial evidence against a child that has been held for years, in this disgraceful and illegal detention center.

What more proof do the craven terrorists presiding over this illegitimate kangaroo court need to convict and execute this child?
