Morris told The Salt Lake Tribune that he is hoping to help prosecutors convict Khadr of war crimes - thus insuring that the alleged killer of an American soldier stays in prison for a long time to come. Morris, who lost an eye in the same attack, said he is not motivated by revenge, but by a desire to help protect his country against a potentially dangerous terrorist.
