  If you read the background of this story you will see that the payout was due to a law suit. I am reminded of similar stories out of the US in which persons of questionable character received big payouts as settlements of law suits for reasons similar to Kadhr's. 
  
  In those cases racial discrimination or police tactics were typically the issue. In Kadhr's case it is all about how he was tortured by your military forces  in Guantanamo. If your military had not tortured him he would have gotten nothing.
  
  So before you start complaining about what we do up here in Canada you should take a good look at how your military treats prisoners. Kadhr was not the only one tortured in Guantanamo. From what I read torture was, and probably still is, considered acceptable treatment for prisoners by your government.
  
  Torture is unacceptable regardless of the situation.
