Canada should condemn torture - even if it comes from the US.

The Canadian government should always condemn any act of torture from any country.

I think the Canadian government should *immediately* ask for clarifications
from the US regarding the deaths of some detainees in Bagram, and i hope that the culprits will be put to trial as rapidly as possible. I want Canada to immedately condemn this! The US are supposed to represent liberty and human rights, not the opposite.

I am for the war on terror, but i am totally against torture!

For more information on what i am

(In French - review of newspapers, valid only today):
http://www.courrierinternational.com/actual/aujourdhui_europe.asp - a rough translation of what is written:

... According to the LA Times saying that several people have indicated that the Americans have a torture center, something which would have been unimaginable two years ago ... In Bagram, there is an 'interrogation center' with metal containers.
