Omar Khadr is getting a formal education in prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to help allay fears he will return to Canada an angry and perhaps dangerous young man with a grudge against society, says his Canadian lawyer.

Khadr's defence team enlisted a Canadian university professor to design a home schooling program to prepare the 24-year-old, who was born in Toronto, for his return to Canada, says Dennis Edney.

Pentagon lawyers travel to the U.S. naval prison every other week to do the teaching.

“We provide them with the material, and then they go to Guantanamo and sit with Omar and they take him through the subject matter,” Edney explains.

1. Pentagon LAWYERS teaching? Glad someone is trying to make him less angry, but I don't understand.

2. The Future

Is what it is about. The Pentagon is constructed by individuals. They may also wish to see him removed from the prison.

After one year, Canada will have to answer to a request to accept him into Canada.
