Torturing a Teenager

Here’s a frightening story.

A video released today shows a young man, 16 years old, being tortured by Canadian officials. Omar Khadr was held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and the video is from 2003 (the young man is 21 now).

Omar KhadrFrom the New York Times:

The mood of the detainee, Omar Khadr, just 16 years old at the time of the interrogations, in February 2003, swings between calm and indifference to rage and grief in the recordings, which were released by his lawyers.

Both McCain and Obama have stood up against Americans using torture. (However, McCain’s stance on this issue remains a little gray)

NB: The video is not linked directly from MrOsman.com due to it’s graphic nature.

    i think thats really bad that they did that to him and I’m glad that McCain and Obama stood up against torture.
