Well, I'm no legal expert either in Danish or American law, but I don't think there's any legal precedence about torturing people (which I'm pretty sure they do in Syria, although some people on here makes it sound like Syria apparently aren't that cruel a country anymore). Furthermore I also think it's pretty much against the law to extradite a person to another country, a country with which you got no agreements or treaties about extraditions, especially seeing as he had no trial or nothing.
Last, the guy is neither an American, nor a Syrian citizen, so I fail to see what legal jurisdiction they have over the guy. Had he been caught redhanded on a battlefield fighting troops, then the US would have a say. All they had here was hearsay and they should have coordinated it with Canadian authorities. But apparently the rule of law isn't something that concerns certain rightwingers on here.
But come on, you can start your "You obviously hate America" speeches now
