Of course, 'sensitive govt. intelligence' will be censored but at least we may understand a little more about how innocent Canadians can be detained by the U.S. and sent to Syria to be tortured. Toronto Sun - "Warren Allmand, a Liberal cabinet minister in the 1970s and 80s who now heads the Montreal-based International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, said the key question in all the cases is whether Canada knowingly participated in the "out-sourced torture" of its citizens. "It is not merely a question of whether there was negligence (but) whether these shameful incidents were carried out deliberately," said Allmand. "What does all this say about the rule of law in Canada? Can officials and intelligence officers suspend the law and the Constitution to suit their own purposes?" This man was totally innocent! ...and you wonder why the U.S. is feared and hated. |
