Military hands Gitmo detainee 40-year sentence; Obean administration "corrects" it.
2010-11-01
Let's see if I've got this straight:

At 15 years old, Omar Khadr kills American commando.
Omar gets caught and sent to Gitmo.
Omar blames father for making him do it.
Military court hands him 40-year sentence anyway.
Obama administration reduces it to 8 years.
Including time served.
Omar gets out in one more year.

Can someone please explain how the civilian court system is more appropriate?

The only ramification here is that from now on, kids will be fighting a lot more since they aren't on the hook for their actions.
