Why he might be annoying:

    He is often referred to as a ‘child soldier,’ although he was in his teens when captured.
    He spied for and acted as a translator for Al-Qaeda.
    He was caught on video planting landmines and joking with the cameraman.
    He allegedly told interrogators he wanted to ‘kill a lot of Americans to get lots of money.’
    His family was close friends with Osama Bin Laden.
    His late father was a senior associate and possible financier of Al-Qaeda.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the only underage soldier to be charged with war crimes in recent history.
    He was the last Westerner to leave Guantanamo.
    Amnesty International and UNICEF spoke against his detainment.
    From childhood he was encouraged by his father to become a suicide bomber.
    He claims he was physically and emotionally abused by his interrogators.
    His case dragged out for years.
    Canada made little effort to have him extradited or repatriated.
