Probably the US should fund the lawsuit itself:
In Boumediene v. Bush (2008), the US Supreme Court held that the MCA was unconstitutional as it restricted detainees' use of habeas corpus and access to the federal courts. It determined that detainees could have access to federal courts to hear habeas corpus petitions, to restore the protection of the Constitution.
You are one dumb bitch the MCA of 2009 amended the original MCA allowing it to pass Constitutional mustard, the Boumendeine V. Bush case did not allow for or mandate federal trial of suspected unlawful alien combatant detainees it only mmandated habeaus corpus reviews by federal courts to insure there was adequate evidence to continue military detention which in Omar Khadrs case there was. His trial by military commission occurred 2 years after the Boumendeine decision and was perfectly Constitutional.
He was considered an enemy combatant under Bush. He had no rights, other than murder of a soldier, not as a POW, but as an civilian causing a murder . His confession was also coerced. There is no evidence he even threw the grenade as he was wounded.
