Omar Khadr Trial at Gitmo?

So sine GC has it’s fair share of the legal crowd I was wondering how many folks down south are paying attention too, or have even heard of, the Omar Khadr trial(s) at Gitmo?

From a purely legal perspective it is a wonderfully convoluted case of Military Tribunals convened and struck-down, gag orders, denial of legal counsel, judicial politics, international law, American and Canadian relations, hunger strikes, surprise witnesses, accusations of prosecutorial withholding of evidence, civil litigation, and “government” leaking of ‘barred’ evidence to the media… and this doesn’t even actually cover the actual “meat” of the legal arguments by the defense and prosecution about the actual charges, alleged confession, and circumstantial evidence.

I was just wondering what our resident GC legal "experts" make of all of this since it touches on domestic law, military law, international law, juvenile legal status, and of course the whole host of controversy attached to the whole "unlawful combatant" bullshit.
