Finally! A trial for a Gitmo detainee: the Canadian child

Yay! The Obama administration is finally taking a Gitmo detainee to trial! Oh, wait, it's the brainwashed child soldier (and Canadian citizen) Omar Khadr. You remember him. When he was a young child, his father took him to Afghanistan, where he brainwashed him into fighting for al-Qaeda. After a firefight in eastern Afghanistan in 2002, when he was 15, Khadr was found huddled in a bunker out of which someone tossed a grenade at some American soldiers. One of the soldiers was killed. The others identified Khadr as the grenade-thrower. So Khadr was shipped off to Gitmo, where he's remained the facility's youngest prisoner.

After seven-odd years of sitting in a cage, and about 18 months after his trial was supposed to start, he's going before a judge, "probably . . .  the first full military commission trial under President Obama" (Washington Post).
