I'm truly ashamed of "my government" today.

We are a nation of spineless boot lickers.

And so ends any respect Canada had in the world. Rewrite the definitions of torture because your friends are doing it? Meet Canada, America's bitch..

The Liberal hate-america-first history revisionists up there in Canada, land of safe haven for the cowardly draft dodger among other things, who snuck that wording into the manual then leaked it finally got justified attention and removal. This was truly an embarassment for Canada's government but it is good to see them correct this foul mistake.
Just like you no longer see the French venomously opposing the US with a simple change of leadership, the Canadians are finally coming around to looking like swell guys as well.

Have a nice day

Speak for yourself. I didn't vote for Harper. I wanted to vote NDP in the last election but voted Liberal to try to keep the slimy bastard from gaining office.

I've been saying that he's in Georgie's pocket all along.

Well I can promise that I am at least as ashamed as you for getting in that manual in the first place. The American people have no business being on any torture watch list. But Cheney and company, that is another story. I urge all Canadians to consider that we as a people are just as affected by the NWO as you are. We MUST stick together.... Until it comes to the NAFTA and the NAU, that is.

Yeah, I'm generalizing, but then the "government" acts on all our behalves doesn't it?

BTW It's interesting that nobody I know or have ever talked to has ever voted for this guy. Yet, there he is, in charge. It's the Mulroney years all over again.

BS. We ought to be on that list, is the point. Are you telling me Abu did not happen? Are you telling me the efforts of our government to look the other way and turn loose a bunch of untrained, private contractors in a matter of such sensitivity as the torture of human beings is bogus?

Mistake my ass.

The Canadian government gave in to U.S pressure to remove them cause they are a major, major, major reason why we all have jobs.

They obviously torture there prisoners to get information, its been going on for century's. Difference is the U.S.A trys to lead/rule the world by "example" and how can they lead/rule the world if they look like our enemys? I myself believe certian people in the Bush administration should be tried for war crimes like every other person that has commited outrages crimes against humanity(Iraq).

Now on the otherside i do like going to sleep without bombs going off around me, in thanx to the U.S of A keeping my ass safe. (Thank you to all soldiers from every country who put there life on the line for us). But we have a stanard of living that is one above the rest in the world making North America and some Europe countries the best place to live in. When we tear down these walls of integerty (without the public knowing), we will colapse upon ourselves when countries start turning there back on us cause we look like our enemy's.

The Iraqi prison is a non issue. The culprits are going to jail for it. There is no way you can argue that the US govt. condones that behavior, just look at the negative press and all the damage such behavior costs for zero gain.
Now waterboarding when done by profession US interogators, not private contracors with no expertise, is done to extract time sensitive information from terrorists, that is a whole other ball game and is perfectly legal. I agree though that the negative press generated makes the successes from it diminished. We should just hand them to the Saudi royalty who would disect appendages till they talked.
