All Charges Dropped Against Gitmo Detainee

Third person to be charged under Bush Administration's "Military Tribunal" system of "law" has had all charges against him dismissed.

Khadr was 15 years old when he was captured - accused of throwing a grenade at US troops that caused several casualties.

Held for 5 years without seeing a court, he is now 20.

Charges dropped on a "technicality".

Despite having all charges dropped, it's expected he will remain at Guantanomo.

He is only the third detainee to be charged and brought before a military tribunal. The first David Hicks - an Aussie - also held for several years without trial has now returned to Australia where he is to serve less than a year behind bars.

What part of this story is the most shocking?! Your choice.
