I'm appalled that Omar Khadr is being tried as a war criminal at Gitmo!

Advertisements [?]

In all the reporting I've seen on TV about this upcoming trial (it started today) in Gitmo, nobody, either in media or otherwise, has mentioned the most important fact of all! Omar Khadr was a child of 13 when his crazy father took him to war. What child would defy his father at that age? He was 15 when the alleged incident occured....this is mentioned in the reporting, but is not the pertinent fact.
If the detail of him being 13 when he went with his father is pointed out during the trial, I don't see how Khadr can possibly be convicted.
