Canadian Omar Khadr faces the possibility of indefinite imprisonment at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, even if he is acquitted of murder and terrorism charges at his war crimes trial later this year...**********
UPDATE: Omar Khadr... cannon fodder
Proving yet again, he's not the sharpest tool in the drawer, Khadr has dismissed his lawyers right before his big court date...
Khadr’s decision may also force a halt to legal proceedings launched on his behalf in U.S. civilian courts.I guess Allah works in mysterious ways.
His American civilian lawyers had petitioned a federal court in Washington this week to stay all proceedings against Khadr, arguing he did not qualify as an “unlawful enemy combatant” under U.S. law.
“This dismissal is applicable to all military commissions, habeas corpus proceedings, other federal court proceedings and any other proceeding,” Vokey said in a separate email to Canwest News Service.
