Stick a kid in Gitmo at 15, hold him without trial for 5 years, and then dismiss the charges?
this makes me violently ill... grief...? anger...? how does somebody respond to something like this...?
as of this posting, no reason for the dismissal of charges was given...

A military judge has dismissed charges against Canadian detainee Omar Khadr, saying the matter is outside the jurisdiction of the military tribunal system.
Khadr, a Canadian who was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan, and a Yemeni accused of chauffeuring Osama bin Laden had faced terrorism charges Monday under a reconfigured military tribunal system that critics say remains unconstitutional.
