‘EMPTYING IT OUT ANY WAY HE CAN’: RETIRED SPECIAL FORCES SGT. BLASTS OBAMA OVER GITMO DETAINEE’S TRANSFER BACK TO CANADA
Omar Khadr, 26, was returned to Canada last month to await parole after spending 10 years behind bars at Guantanamo. He received an eight-year sentence after he was convicted in 2010 of throwing a grenade that killed 28-year-old Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer in 2002, when Khadr was 15. Retired Special Forces Sgt. Layne Morris, who lost sight in one eye during the firefight that killed Speer, called Khadr’s release “an outrage.”
