Canada removes U.S., Israel from torture watchlist

You cowardly bastards. Quit lying to us. The U.S. is torturing and you can't tell us that because it is them doing it is not wrong. Fuck you and your lack of morals.

Harper must go, if for no other reason than I will not allow him to pull me down to his level.

Canada's foreign ministry, responding to pressure from close allies, said on Saturday it would remove the United States and Israel from a watch list of countries where prisoners risk being tortured.

Both nations expressed unhappiness after it emerged they had been listed in a document that formed part of a training course manual on torture awareness given to Canadian diplomats.

Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said he regretted the embarrassment caused by the public disclosure of the manual, which also classified some U.S. interrogation techniques as torture.

"It contains a list that wrongly includes some of our closest allies. I have directed that the manual be reviewed and rewritten," Bernier said in a statement.

"The manual is neither a policy document nor a statement of policy. As such, it does not convey the government's views or positions."


Well here's my position. They're torturing, asshole, and no amount of lying to us will change that.
