Watch List
Posted on | January 18, 2008
Great. US treatment of prisoners has gotten us on the list:
The United States has been listed as a country where prisoners are at risk of torture in a training document produced by the Canadian foreign ministry.
It also classifies some US interrogation techniques as torture.
The manual - part of a training course on torture awareness for diplomats - also includes Israel, China, Iran and Afghanistan on its watch list.
A government spokesman said the manual did not reflect the views of Canada, which is an ally of the US and Israel.
“The training manual is not a policy document and does not reflect the views or policies of this government,” said a spokesman for Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier.
Here’s the Bush legacy: torture to go along with the economic ruin.
