Torture is effing Barbaric no matter what the circumstances. It's also been proved ineffective in obtaining the Truth. And think about it for a minute. What kind of person could torture another human being? There would be no other type of person than a dangerous psychotic criminal. I don't care if they work for the Government, that is still what they are.
Here's the New York Times article about said case:Canadians Fault U.S. for Its Role in Torture Case:<a class="user" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/19/world/americas/19canada.html?ex=1316318400&en=f1496d527bec4121&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss">http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/19/world/americas/19canada.html?ex=1316318400&en=f1496d527bec4121&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss</a>"OTTAWA, Sept. 18 — A government commission on Monday exonerated a Canadian computer engineer of any ties to terrorism and issued a scathing report that faulted Canada and the United States for his deportation four years ago to Syria, where he was imprisoned and tortured."WIKI: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar</a>"The episode strained Canada-U.S. relations and eventually resulted in the creation of a public inquiry in Canada "into the actions of Canadian officials dealing with the deportation and detention" of Arar.[5] .
