Even our neighbors are embarrassed by us:
OTTAWA, Jan 17 (Reuters) - An official Canadian government document has put both the United States and Israel on a watch list of countries where prisoners run the risk of being tortured, CTV television reported on Thursday.
The revelation is likely to embarrass the minority Conservative government, which is a staunch U.S. ally.
The document mentions the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba where a Canadian man is being held.
CTV said the document was part of a course on torture awareness given to Canadian diplomats to help them determine whether prisoners they visited abroad had been mistreated.
Does this mean we can immigrate to Canada under refugee status? Does anyone know if there’s any progress on those initial cases of Americans seeking refugee status there?
I seem to remember that they were denied refugee status. But that was before Bush gave us American membership in the Axis of Evil.
