Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Classified Photographs Suggest Omar Khadr May Be Innocent

HeadlineNov 02, 2009

The Toronto Star has published a series of classified photographs that raise new questions about whether the United States is holding an innocent Canadian citizen at Guantanamo. Omar Khadr is accused of throwing a grenade that fatally wounded a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002. At the time of the incident, Khadr was fifteen years old. But the just-published photographs appear to tell a different story. Khadr’s attorneys say the photographs show that the boy was buried face down under rubble, blinded by shrapnel and crippled, at the time the Pentagon alleges he threw the grenade.
