1947: Canada tried to help? By advising the coalition not to replace Saddam? What kind of help is that? Also, your definition of torture might vary considerably from what the Geneva Convention considers torture. The Gitmo folks never had it better in their entire lives.

Heric: I'm not convinced you are right when you make the statement that enemy battlefield combatants in a foreign country are guilty of commiting a U. S. crime if they kill American soldiers abroad. I do not know, but I suspect that is why so many populate Gitmo but have not yet been charged. Perhaps someone on the forum who knows the U. S. laws might post some help.

Carol: this really is not an insurance or healthcare question I'm sure you are aware, but a legal one.
