Well the US would not send anyone to Syria so he could be
tortured by their brutal ineffective methods either. I'm sorry you think
otherwise. Not that we are too moral but, having tried those methods at
the
Salem Witch Trials, we know they don't work.

Well Vito..... that's entirely the reason why he was sent. It is common
policy for the USA to do that to avoid their own laws. If you read the
report they informed not only this individual but the other three that they
were being interogated for information by request of the USA.

Look Syria is no friend of the USA... but it knows what needs to be done to
avoid "action" against it. Most of the insurgents in Irag come from or thru
Syria. As long as they provide a service to the USA... no action will be
taken. Syria has no interest in interogatting a Canadian Citizen. Most are
sympathetic to the insurgents.


The fellow Capt. M. mentions apparently held dual Canadian/Syrian
citizenship, the latter by birth. I can only speculate why he was sent to
Syria vs Canada except that was where he was born. I sincerely doubt he
was
sent there so Syria could torture information out of him for us if only
because we know that such info is unreliable. If we thot he knew
something
he be at Gitmo.

No you couldn't.... he was not "captured" nor was he on any "list". He was
forthcoming with all information and was denied legal counsel and the
opportunity to contact Canadian officals and his family.

Vito.. wake up! It was wrong, it's been done on numerous occaisions, it's
not an isolated incident, it's illegal, it flys in the face of your
constitution and claims of moral decency. It's happening and you seem to
treat it like an anomaly..... when in fact it's SOP.

Our RCMP are being raked across the coals for their compliance to US demands
regarding this situation. Our diplomat to Syria is on the hotseat. He was
warned by the US diplomat to not get involved in this.... and didn't report
it.

You have not undertaken this with US citzens holding dual citizenship.

For gawds sake he was a 30 year old engineer who had been in Canada since he
was 17. He had a loving family and children. He was a contributing member of
society with no history of criminal behaviour. He spent 2 years being
tortured for information he did not have.... all at the request of your
government and their paranoid state of operation.

What level are you guys on right now... yellow or orange? Does it matter?...
do you even pay attention anymore? Do you even notice your rights and
freedoms being erroded? Is it because they are only taking small pieces of
it away at a time?

Did you see the website where US soldiers can post pictures of their
"Kills"...??? Strange world we live in!

With power comes responsibility...

No. With power comes corruption, and greater power means greater
corruption.

As an Australian, I'm moving towards supporting China economically and
politically. I'm reluctant to do this but given the USA's long record
of constitutional protection is now a sick joke, China's record is
starting to look better, and they're big enough to resist the USA.

Economically, Australia will probably be better off than dealing with
the USA anyway.
