"Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr pleaded guilty to charges against him Monday, the Pentagon said, in the first military commission trial there since Barack Obama became president.   Khadr, 24, was accused of throwing a grenade during a 2002 firefight in Afghanistan that resulted in the death of Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, a Special Forces medic.  He also admitted that he "converted landmines to Improvised Explosive Devices and assisted in the planting of 10 IEDs with the intent of killing American forces" in the months before killing Speer, the Pentagon said."

Ahmed Khadr (Omars father) and fundraiser for al Qeada killed in a raid by Pakistani Forces 2 Oct 2003

"A biography of the patriarch of the Khadr family posted on an al-Qaeda website praises him as a fighter for the poor who disliked living among the luxuries of Canada.

Ahmed Said Khadr is one of dozens of people profiled in the "Book of 120 Martyrs in Afghanistan." It is posted online at the Al-Fajr media centre, al-Qaeda's online news service.

The biographer says Egyptian-born Ahmed Said Khadr reluctantly came to Canada after breezing through a Cairo university and emerging with a computer engineering degree.

After living unhappily in Canada — which the writer calls "a dirty swamp" — for 10 years, Khadr returned to Pakistan during the mid-1980s. While there, he worked for a Canadian government-backed charity called Human Concern International, says the account.

Khadr later formed his own charity, returning to Canada from time to time to collect money for the Afghan jihad against the Soviets.

In 1992 he stepped on a landmine, paralyzing a hand and a foot, and returned to Canada for one year for medical care and to recuperate.

His biographer says he found the luxury of Canada not to his liking. He returned to Pakistan, becoming an al-Qaeda commander in Logar province when U.S.-led coalition forces invaded Afghanistan following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, says the biography.

Khadr was shot and killed by Pakistani troops in 2003 during a firefight in the mountains of Pakistan. His biographer says he refused to surrender, choosing death and immediate entry into paradise instead.

Khadr's son, Omar Khadr, is also praised in the biography. Omar Khadr is currently on trial at a U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for allegedly killing an American soldier with a grenade in 2002.

The biography praises Ahmed Said Khadr for "tossing his little child in the furnace of the battle." Omar, says the biography, is an injured lion cub who hasn't let despair overwhelm him despite being arrested and imprisoned."

Romeo in the courtroom at Gitmo

OTTAWA -- O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Turns out, he's in Gitmo serving time as a war criminal.

Canada's Omar Khadr, who last fall pleaded guilty to war crimes, is being schooled at the military prison on the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to prepare for his eventual release, according to the Miami Herald.

The Miami Herald is reporting part of his schooling had the 24-year-old read the part of Romeo, while his towering 6-6 military lawyer read the part of Juliet.

(Among the quotable from the classic Shakespeare play: "Deny thy father and refuse thy name," "These violent delights have violent ends," "A plague o' both your houses," "Tempt not a desperate man" and "A greater power than we can contradict, hath thwarted our intents.")

Khadr's curriculum -- designed by Edmonton's Arlette Zinck, a professor at King's University College -- reportedly includes history, math, astronomy, grammar and elocution.

English is reportedly the emphasis for Khadr, 24, to help him qualify as a mature student and be accepted into college if and when he returns to Canada, which could happen as early as this fall.

Lt.-Col. Jon Jackson, Khadr's military lawyer (a.k.a. Juliet), told the Herald's Carol Rosenberg the education program is going well.

"He's very serious about his education," Jackson told the Herald. "His attitude is positive. There's been a real change in him now that he has the legal matters behind him."

In October, Khadr pleaded guilty to a series of war crimes, including killing a U.S. Special Forces solider with a grenade during a July 2002 firefight in Afghanistan when Khadr was 15 years old.

Omar as he was and as the man he is today

He was also part of an al-Qaida explosives cell that was making and planting roadside bombs targeting U.S. forces in Afghanistan during the same summer.

While the military jury in his war-crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay sentenced the Toronto-born Khadr to 40 years behind bars, a secret plea bargain capped his sentence to eight years.

The deal also allows Khadr to apply to return to Canada next fall with the support of the U.S. government, after serving one year of his sentence at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay."

The man he killed had a family........
This does not include all the other innocents he murdered with the help of his father and family....
He is sentenced to 40 years but his sentenced is capped at 8 years...
