My friend Muna Shikaki of al-Arabiya tweet-reports:

A plea deal has been reached in the case of the accused war criminal Omar Khadr in Guantanamo that will assure the US government a conviction will ensure Khadr return to Canada to serve the majority of his sentence “soon” sources close to the trial tell Al-Arabiya. Last night, the Military Commission’s Convening Authority agreed to a deal presented by the defense.

Charlie Savage isn’t so sure. If I’m not mistaken, Khadr’s commission was set to resume next week. If it turns out there’s a deal, it’ll be fascinating to learn how the Canadian government, which wanted the U.S. to solve its Khadr problem for it, got on board. As well as what specifically Khadr will be pleading to having done.
