Guantanamo jury slams Khadr with 40-year sentence
U.S. NAVAL BASE GUANTANAMO, Cuba — Omar Khadr has been sentenced to 40 years in prison by a military jury at Guantanamo Bay.

After announcing the jury’s recommended sentence, Col. Patrick Parrish, the presiding judge, told Khadr that after serving another year in U.S. custody, he could apply to be transferred to Canada.

The Canadian government responded quickly but cooly to news of the sentence, calling the plea deal “a matter between the U.S. government and Omar Khadr.”

Khadr "would be treated like any other Canadian who applies for a transfer,” said Melissa Lantsman, a spokeswoman for Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, adding that no decision would be made or speculated upon until that time.
